How will you feel if you vote for the losing side in the referendum ?

[larus]

This would probably be the most likely as my wife is Scottish, but as I said in another post I'd probably consider other options too.

Plus I hate midges.

One small, but very significant factor you have overlooked about Scotland. With the collapse in the oil price, the case for independence goes away. Economically, they would be much poorer. They SNP would not want another referendum, and they know it would be a no vote.

If the vote is to Leave, then I will seriously consider moving to another country.

Apparently as my Wife's Mother was Irish she can get Irish, therefore EU, Citizenship. I can also get this by Marriage.

I have an option!

I expect remain to win (sadly), but I expect the EURO to have an existential crisis at some point. When this happens, the knock-on effects to the EU will be terminal, so a remain vote is just a deferral of the death of the EU project.

Also, the level of Anti-EU feeling across Europe are on the rise. There are other countries which may choose to leave - even France.

You've got to go with it. We have a democracy (of sorts), and this is a straight winner takes all vote. I just hope .... really, really, hope .... that if the majority go with Exit, that they are right - but I really fear that they're not. They are not going to get anything that they think they will IMO, but there you go, I'm sure I'll still get out of bed as normal on Friday.

Just from the look of this thread it looks like the Remainers will be losing their minds if they lose.

And some of them their jobs, potentially their homes too, oh and an accelerated decline in healthcare and education.

Don't try going to Malta-they still hang kraut-lovers there

Why would I want to go to Malta?

Or, there is a greater move towards a proper reform of the EU. Fiscal union was always going to be a mistake - I still can't believe anybody thought that was a good idea. A trading bloc - great, a giant federal state, big blooper.

If we Remain I'm going to be pissed off, but in the end I will get used to it and get on with things. I have put my wife through enough of my moaning over the last few months.
If we Remain we just got to hope the EU reforms (Unlikely) or the people of Europe give them no choice but to make some serious, and I mean serious changes.

Actually I am a bit worried.If I support England this afternoon,does that make me a racist?

I am as well. Does it make me a racist?

But that's the very point. Leave now and other countries may well want to make an example of us to discourage others from following.

Wait til it falls apart then we are all in the same boat

It was a laugh when the 'gut' was still there. Matelots will understand.
Not so sure now.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I would be seething if we vote to leave. That would guarantee a minimum 2-year economic word of sh1t with all sorts of uncertainty.

As a small business owner we've worked hard to get things back on an even keel and have had 2 good years on the back of 5 challenging years. People under-estimate the time and energy it takes get back to the 2007 position. Another recession and I could see a lot of entrepreneurs giving up investing and trying to grow their business and simply cashing in their chips and withdrawing.

I haven't overlooked it. That's why I said we would consider options beyond just moving to a country that might at some point gain (or currently have) EU membership.

 

[Lethargic]

I will not loss any sleep over it at all.

The problem being we will never know what the alternative result would have been therefore we are stuck with whichever way we go and total fantasy as the alternative. So far I have not really heard anything factual to swing me either way its been political gusto and bollux from day 1 I am no wiser than I was before.

The one thing you can depend on is which ever way the vote goes it is that the leaders of political parties, companies and industry that will continue to make as much money as they can from the "new" situation and we will still be surround by a sea of beaurocrats and red tape the only difference will it be is it based in London or Brussels/Strasbourg.

Cynical you bet I am.

Confused,scared and a little bit betrayed but also slightly guilty and a little bit excited whilst angry but in a calm and inclusive way! All in all pretty much like normal

Not so sure now.

When we did the Malta war museum tour,the history professor who occaisionally worked as a guide asked us if there were any Italians or Germans in the party.When we responded in the negative,he replied "Good,because we hang those ********".

 

[Two Professors]

Why would I want to go to Malta?

Oh,isn't it in the EU?

 

[Two Professors]

No, I didn't. I certainly didn't meet him which is what I was talking about.

Well maybe you should-I'm sure you get on well.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

If it goes against what I shall vote for then I fear for this country.

 

[happypig]

Hopefully, whatever the result we will see a total implosion of the Tory party.

Personally I'm hoping to retire in about 5 years and it may be to Greece. what happens next Thursday may influence that decision.
