Agree everyone should vote, and we are taking our young children to the booth to show them the process.
It was supposed to be a common market and the British people were lied to then that we would lose no sovereignty and look how that has turned out. Both sides are talking a lot of tosh but the simple question is "Do we wish to be ruled by Britain or ruled by 27 other countries?We couldn't trust our politicians then and we can't trust them now to not give our country away.
I am 100% leave.
I voted to Remain in'75 on the basis of sailor boy's earlier protestations as to sovereingty. He knew, he lied. read "Soverignty and the European Communities fco 30/1048.
Cooperation between equals is quite different to givinf supremacy to an external body with the weight of law and Westminster and our Courts MUST comply where the EU has exclusive competencec(Ha!) or the ECJ has made a ruling.
Read Paul Krugmans post on the NYT of the 12th June, he goes for Remain even though the EU evidences no desure fir change and is DYSFUNCTIONAL.
I'm not convinced it's even the most significant cross. Unless Parliament goes on to enact the will of the people, it is merely advisory and attaches no legal requirements.
In other words, a vote to leave could still be spinned as a vote to get changes whilst staying, and there's not a damned thing we could do about, other than at the ballot box. In that case, given the cross party divisions, who the hell would you vote for instead?
MGD, should be next. Making Government Digital.
Every month the issues are listed and we all can vote electronically, with the government just implementing what the people decide. That would be much more democratic.
Seriously? You are advocating multiple referenda each month or is your tongue firmly in your cheek? I do hope so.
The Swiss are big fans of a referendum:

Approx four times a year they have mandatory and optional referendums, and they recently voted on (and rejected) a universal basic income for all citizens.
