    Add to that the Tory right wing wanting out, and that pollock Hogg already talking about taking away employment rights, it's a no-brainier. IM in.

    From a selfish perspective...

    ..as an expat retired to Italy I'd stay in (better the devil you know and all that) but can ANYONE really say what is best for the future of Britain re staying or going.

    I care that we get it right for my recently married daughter's and my new son-in law's future. Business leaders, economists and politicians are all split so where does that leave us...'Joe Public' As someone who takes an interest in eco-politics I have not got a clue which way to vote even though I hate most aspect of the unelected EU commission and things like MEP's unsubstantiated and un-receipted claims expenses.

    It will probably be decided, as most things, by the popular red-tops and other newspapers mainly around issues arising on or near the week leading up to the referendum.

    "Joe Public" will get what they're given and bloody well appreciate it. That's how it works, right?

    Re: From a selfish perspective...

    I can't see that the deal Cameron has squeezed out of the other 27 members will change many minds. I would have voted to stay in anyway. Given the long term nature of the decision I agree with Simon Kelner in yesterday's "I". He suggested that the votes of the under 30's carry more weight than those of us old fogies who will not live long enough to benefit or otherwise from the result of the referendum.

    Most Conservatives would like us to stay in and grow the economy create jobs and spread wealth. Labour want out and would prefer us to be isolated

    Do you ever study the facts before you print your ****?
    There'll be far more conservatives voting out than labour I would say by at least 4 to 1.

    Absolute ****** Labour are anti-Europe. It's 2016 not 1975. Labour are massively pro Europe unlike the Tories. Anyone not know that must be thick as pig ****.

    It is , but as I'm not retired and still working, I don't want to see my already decreasing employment rights being erased altogether. my forefathers and mothers fought hard and long for these, The attacks on the working people are unprecedented enough, elk the Tory right wing and everything they stand for.

    Only reason for staying in is...........Environmental legislation (which my job depends on)

    All the rest of it warrants a NO vote

    So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with this referendum........don't know which way to vote

    Labour wants to remain in because of employment legislation.........but reduced employment legislation would probably produce far more jobs

    I believe there's a lot more than just employment legislation why Labour want to remain in Europe. Why would reduced employment legislation produce more jobs? A better economy with would provide meaningful work. All we hear about are jobless figures falling which doesn't mean more people are in work.
