Britain is already a very different place as a result of calling this referendum.
I am worried that the genie has indeed been let out of the bottle, but it is a mean and nasty genie that distrusts authority and hates/fears everyone who is slightly different.
I feel that trust in the political system has been smashed and its going to take an immensely tallented leader to restore that trust, but I don't know where that leader will come from.
If the result of the referendum is Leave, I fear that large numbers of skilled and entrepreneurial individuals will leave the UK, and business confidence will take a nose dive. This will result in a recession.
I can only hope that there are enough forward thinking individuals in this country who want to be part of something bigger than just UK, who will make the effort to vote to Remain on Thursday. Then we can all get back to making this country one of the most successful within the EU and provide leadership to the rest of the member states.
The workplace has changed because of this - people are being openly requested to explain their positions - unprompted - and then, in the absence of any reply forthcoming, one is presented with whatever assumption the others have made about your voting intentions.
I, for one, will be glad when this is all done. I can now see why American politics, which is all two-way, ends up as divisive as it is.
It is impossible in a two horse race to try and appease both sides.
From a selfish perspective, I - as an Irish passport holder - am somewhat privileged. The remain camp has already said Irish people will be unaffected and I'll still have unfettered access to the EU.
So I'm peachy. But I'll tell you, I will be so disappointed for my British friends, young people who will suffer the brunt of this decision.
The EU has now repeatedly said it will treat The UK harshly, the Union is their first priority. Can you imagine the chaos it would cause if they gave Britain a soft touch? The EU's priority is the EU, not selling BMW's to The UK.
Leave can shake their heads and deny reality as much as they'd like, but it's fantasy politics to suggest otherwise.
Im with Tax Writer on this. I don't what the Brexit lot have seen or heard to make them think an out vote would be a good thing.
In all the way for me.
In the North the only things that happen are funded from Europe and much sooner rely on them than Westminster who seem to think anything that matters end at Watford Gap.
For the last 6 weeks, up and down the country people have been asking remain or leave.
Remain is supposedly what the young prefer and considered the future. Whilst leave is a return to the past.
But I have never actually met anyone who wants to remain. It's pretty much unanimous that we want to leave and return to the old Aweb website!
