I'm quite shocked at the number of people who think this is a vote between the Tories and the EU! It really isn't. We have the chance to vote the Tories out at any of our general elections, and this has of course happened many times in the past, but we can't vote out the EU.
I don't believe there will ever be a "reformed EU". It hasn't happened over the last decades or even when Cameron was negotiating more recently. There's far more possibility that we can reform our own country and its politics, if we concentrate on getting it right here, not relying on Nanny EU to make our decisions.
Additionally, if so many people don't trust Cameron an inch, why on earth are they heeding his exaggerated warnings and obediently following his instructions to stay in the EU?
Discontent and the far right are gathering pace in the EU, and of course the EU is constantly lobbied by big business who get the laws made to suit themselves, which discourages small businesses and entrepeneurs. That's a rather right-wing set-up controlled by those with money, and with quite a bit of closed-door decision making (trilogues). The elected MEPs can't even propose legislation themselves, it's done by the unelected Commission.
The UK has been a leader in human rights for centuries, including the Magna Carta and forwards. We certainly don't need the EU to tell this country how to make decent human rights laws.
The UK created a good deal of helpful legislation long before we joined the EU in 1992. For example, on the subject of women's rights, the Abortion Act 1967 and the Equal Pay Act 1970. The UK's own Equality Act of 2010 would continue if we leave the EU. The Domestic Violence Act and the Employment Protection Act were passed independently of the EU, and the Divorce Reform Act was passed before we joined the EU.
My income is low and I'm in favour of leaving the EU. It's rather patronising that although most working class people would like to see Brexit, some people are still arguing that they shouldn't do it because it "won't be good for them". Having a low income and/or being working class doesn't cancel someone's ability to weigh up the arguments and think for themselves!
The economy may or may not take a short-term hit, but I think will do well in the long term. This is a long term decision, and as the Rev. Giles Fraser said on Question Time "Democracy is not for sale".
Political reform is something that's being pushed for in the UK, such as House of Lords reform and a cross-party group campaigning for proportional representation.
The EU's plans are designed to remove power from ordinary people so that we don't bother the elite. The EU's plans are for privatising all our public services (money again), gradually and irreversibly superceding the laws of its members, and becoming a superstate. They have a flag, anthem, passport, currency, "Europe Day", and are planning an EU army. British armed forces which are top-quality may well be subsumed into this in order to quietly quell our nation's power.
Will it be another 41 years until the next referendum, when we'll be so entwined with the EU there's no chance of escape?
As Alan Sked, Emeritus Professor of International History at the LSE, said in his article yesterday, Why Britain really joined the EU and should now vote to leave it:
"We are not some supine, failed state. We lead the world in soft power. In the past we regularly saved European democracy by our example. We can do so again – in fact, that is what the EU is really most worried about."
