Would you vote to stay or leave the EU?

Quick poll.

What I want to know is what is the link between Peter Sutherland, Goldman Sachs and staying in. Why are they so keen?

Whatever you do, don't base your vote on anything you read in the DM!

ProfessorPreciseaBug · 21/01/2016 07:43

It would cost GS a lot of money if we leave. They will have to relocate to Frankfurt. A company move of that scale is not cheap. Far cheaper for them to campaign to stay in Europe.

If we stay or leave, GS will still be one of the largest banks in the world.

Whatever you do, don't base your vote on anything you read in the DM! DM is just one of the many sources I read throughout the day (but I do start my day with it Grin).

Professor Yes, GS will still remain one of the biggest banks.

2016IsANewYearforMe · 21/01/2016 07:58

GS is always out for their own best interests, that and that alone. Unpicking their behaviour around the great crash is Shock

I be tempted to do the contrary of anything they say. They truly are the exploitive, parasitic 1%.

fourmummy · 21/01/2016 08:01

I should rephrase my query: Why are the Peter Sutherland-GS-EU trio gunning for mass immigration? What's in it for them (given all the problems)?

WillBeatJanuaryBlues · 21/01/2016 11:19

Drink I have never ever met anyone who has voted for anything based on the daily mail.
From the guardian though, ....another very worrying thing...

read all papers, all sources and people dont exist in a bubble, they are living in the community mostly and can see whats going on .

WillBeatJanuaryBlues · 21/01/2016 11:20

four not read your article yet BUt have never trusted goldman sachs.

WillBeatJanuaryBlues · 21/01/2016 11:20

YY 2016 indeed. do the contrary.

dog123 · 21/01/2016 21:38

JP Morgan also funding the In campaign in addition to Goldman Sachs. Another reason to vote out!

2016IsANewYearforMe · 22/01/2016 09:49

Yes, but a few "hundred thousand" from GS to the IN campaign? It seems very small. After all, it would be a derisory bonus for a senior manager there. I am surprised they aren't giving more.

WillBeatJanuaryBlues · 22/01/2016 09:53

YY 2016 exactly

Thecatisatwat · 22/01/2016 13:59

Leave

I'm always suspicious of anything that big business (including banks like GS) is supportive of. Businesses always say they think leaving the EU is bad for the British people but what they really mean is they are scared of losing their huge pool of cheap labour. Who knows, leaving the EU may actually help wages to rise (and rents to fall if there is less pressure on housing).

BanningTheWordNaice · 22/01/2016 14:05

Stay. Although technically leaving would benefit me financially.

angelos02 · 22/01/2016 14:29

Leave x 1 million %.

I find it terrifying what could happen if we do not leave.

DiscordiaVanDiemen · 22/01/2016 15:06

Leave, the sooner the better!

DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel · 23/01/2016 12:43

Up thread I said stay, but after reading this thread and thinking about it a bit more Id like to change my vote to leave.

0phelia · 23/01/2016 13:36

There needs to be a proper actual real discussion as to who benefits from the union.

During the campaign we will hear hardline sweeping statements like "Staying is best for the economy" (but who's economy exactly?) and scaremongering like "Millions of jobs will be lost" but no one can actually see into the future.

We need to know who benefits from the EU, who looses and how.

It's fantastic that threads like these are staying put on MN and elsewhere on social media because you can't trust establishment press at all.

jeanswithatwist · 23/01/2016 17:03

leave

WillBeatJanuaryBlues · 23/01/2016 17:07

ophelia can you imagine the brain drain in countries like Poland and Romania! The loss of people and yet they seem to be doing fine! They don't want to take in any migrants! They don't seem to need this mass immigration. But we are told we do.

Load of rubbish.

We will never ever get to the bottom of who truly benefits.

ConferencePear · 23/01/2016 20:22

Businesses will profit from either a cheap source of unskilled labour or of tenants living on housing benefits.
Why have so many migrants been sent to areas which already have high unemployment and where many families are housed in houses which belong to one man ?
The men at Calais are not brain surgeons.

ReallyTired · 23/01/2016 20:35

I'm going to vote to stay. I think that EU needs to stand together to find a solution to the migrant crisis. The EU needs reform to survive though.

AlpacaLypse · 23/01/2016 20:41

Leave. Brussels infrastructure is so unaccountable. If Europe's accounts were sent to HMRC they'd be fined big time!

I do think us threatening to leave with a bit of balls might kick some arse though.

OttiliaVonBCup · 23/01/2016 20:42

Leave.

And I'm born and bred in the heart of Europe.

evilcherub · 23/01/2016 20:47

Leave.
