    I'll be voting out. Whether that's daft of me or not in the current government of greedy tories is irrelevant. I'm thinking long term. I don't believe we need Brussells to hold our hand for the next however length of time. I think most people will be scared of voting out due to not being able to trust our government on its own, which is sad. So being away from Europe might give people a kick up the bum to be more wary who we vote into parliament.

    I was wary, I didn't vote because I didn't trust any of the candidates. How would giving said candidates more power help in that situation?

    Possibly because the candidates were second rate with people being apathetic towards voting. If we were away from Europe I hope the people who hope to be elected pull their socks up and give us someone TO vote for.

    In all honesty, I feel that with a far left government we'd be best off out. With a right wing government we are better in, and with a government somewhere in the middle - I don't know.
