francypants Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have been reading the reasons for staying in the EU on the PRO EUROPA website,some of the reasons are hilarious.Cheaper roaming mobile phone calls,cheaper credit cards.:hihi:.Have a read and see what you think. http://www.proeuropa.org.uk/twelevereasons These are not good enough reasons for staying in for me compared to the reasons for leaving. Ha! Ha! What a load of clap trap...... makes you want to vote to stay in doesn't it ? !!! ..... NO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Makes you wonder how countries with smaller GDP than the UK, you know, industrial midgets like Brazil manage to survive despite not being in the EU. Have you looked at the problems of Brazil recently? http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sp-cuts-brazil-rating-further-into-junk-territory-2016-02-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost rider Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Maybe they're feeling a little guilty for destroying the Scottish fishing industry. Yes and the farcical situation of uk fishermen having to throw fish back while other EU countries fish in our waters taking more fish than we are allowed to catch.Insane!One Dutch super trawler hoovers up 23 percent of our entire EU quota on its own.

Why do you think that the EU introduced fishing quotas the different nations, or do you believe that the fishermen from the different countries should be left to fight over the ever dwindling stocks of fish. If your interested, have a read and see what happened to Canada's fishing industry which led to Canada banning cod fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admitted Brazil with it's vast resources should probably be performing somewhat more impressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't want to live in a self governing, democratic country. That's why I'm voting to REMAIN in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I firmly believe that our waters should be just that,OURS.It is a natural resource of being an island and it used to help make britain wealthy and should again.Let the other countries fight for whats left.If you look into it you will find that britain would have plenty of fish if other countries were not allowed to take it.Go and stand in the middle of Grimsby and tell them that the quotas are fair and see what kind of response you get.

Some might say that there are parallels with the UK and the EU. Edited February 22, 2016 by Eric Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 But what you're asking is totally and utterly impossible. The Labour Party can't agree on individual policies, how can the people as far apart on the political spectrum as Galloway and BoJo (both powerless by the way to enact it if they do win btw) going to have a policy. This isn't as dramatic as the scots leaving and they didn't even have a currency lined up - that went down the wire. It's democracy in action - it doesn't need to make sense. Nope, it isn't impossible. I know of studies into the impact of the possible post-Brexit models. The analysis exists. All the 'leave' campaigns have to start referencing the studies that already exist, and start explaining which models they support, why, and how we will be impacted. It is totally possible for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should have risked a situation like Canada's, where all cod fishing would have banned indefinitely to protect the fish from extinction? How would've that gone down in Grimsby?
