Brexit

[malleefarmer]

Have many friends in uk very intelligent, there going to vote to stay but are grappling with it. Common thought is why should uk pay for eu mistakes in so many ways and are we that much better off because of it. And are uk laws and standards being eroded because of EU. Really I think it could be almost aged based and numbers who vote anyone under say 30 may vote to stay over 30 vote to exit

leave is now in front, with lots of young people voting out as they are the ones who are losing jobs to immigrants.

If I was in the UK I would vote to leave as how often do you get a chance to unload a layer of feeding politicians and bureaucracy? Also when Obama and the Clintons come to tell you to stay in, them you do the opposite.

Stock markets lower on increased odds vote will favour exit.
Seems every country and group wants to be independent but disregards downside of a world going back to tribalism.
On decreasing chances of another major war, that is enough by itself to make up for most of advantages from independence.

Don't see much about it in local news, more about it in national and financial news.
Similar to Scotland independence, likely most of us prefer united countries and areas in rest of world.
