    Nobody will ever leave.
    You obviously haven't been looking at the economic data that has becoming out if the EU zone the last month. Intact even today the French economy has shrunk in the last four months which could push it and EU into recession again.

    Because the UK is one of the largest net contributor to the EU budget, if there is recession in the EU then the UK is asked to contribute more in order to help our fellow European cousins.

    That would mean less money for us to spend on NHS, schools, welfare cheats etc.

    Economic systems in all countries go up, then go down...then up, then down etc etc. Fact of life, there will be recession and there will be growth. So phukin what.

    Democracy has never worked in the history of the human race. Pensioners shouldn't be allowed to vote in the same way children aren't.

    Why should pensioners not be allowed to vote?

    Self interest mainly but there's a fairly long list of reasons.
