We have a different currency to most of Europe, although, it would hake it easier to travel without having to have visas everywhere you go..

Exactly my feelings.

Quote:I have no sympathy for those who choose convenience over sovereignty.  They are already enslaved in their minds.

It's not a case of "convenience" as you so put it. It's a case of "I like his things are run, so I'm happy to continue". Sure, things MAY improve if we left, they also may not, but I don't want to take that chance because, as I said, I like how things are. Don't fix it, if it ain't broken. I know it's not for everyone and politics draws up so many opinions, but that's both the annoyance and the beauty of it.


  

Quote:I don't know enough about the entire situation, but I do know that the stock market here is going to react one way or the other.  That's one of the reasons that The Fed held off raising interest rates here.  If the brits choose to stay, the stock market will probably be fine and may climb a bit.  If they choose to leave, look for the stock market to drop considerably.

Yeah these are all potential factors in my vote choice.
