It seems to me like if Britain does leave then when things get a bit recessiony and hosed up people will be way more likely to kick the conservatives out next election and we get Corbynmania full on communism when he's not pinned down by the EU's austerity policies.

Whereas if we "Bremain" then there is literally no point in voting anything other than Conservative so Cameron or some other emotionless robot can continue to suck Merkel and Junker's dicks to make sure that we're one of the oppressors and not the oppressed in the EU.

So it's basically win-win in terms of Britain getting hosed.

Yeah, Greece just did away with pensions and retirement and they had their left-wing government removed by the EU. On the plus side they'll have paid off their debt by like A.D. 3000.

But don't worry, the German bankers will definitely not lose any of their money, and thanks to the EU free movement the Greek bankers that stole all the money now live in London.

I think Spain has over 20% unemployment, but they're basically european mexicans so no one cares and criticising the EU is racist so no one wants to do that.

she has single handedly destroyed Europe, ethnically cleansing us native Europeans with ficki ficki rapefugees.

Who the hell put her in charge anyway?

What pisses me off even more is that Cameron and his cronies hijacked the brexit vote with that Manchurian Candidate "Chance the Gardner" and sacrificed the life of an innocent yet libtarded politician to get more votes.

Even the Queen can't think of 3 reasons to remain.

If we "Bremain" then I agree, but his only shot is that we Brexit and then the entire country tanks so hard that people will do anything to get rid of the Tories (which in our 2 party system means Labour)

Look at the scottish vote, they lost the vote but then the SNP cleaned up at the general election. I think whoever wins the Brexit vote, the losers will rally hard and see massive gains at the next election because this campaign has pushed everyone out of the centre and to the extremes.

I'm seriously fed up with Cameron, all he's done is gently caress us over for 6 years and I just want him gone.

Even if there's a decision that could gently caress up our nation permanently, I'd do it if it's at his expense.

I voted for Cameron because I used this logic, except with Guardian readers instead of Cameron.

Except now I'm pretty sure that no matter how annoying Guardian readers are, Cameron is worse.

A ton of voters agree, they don't care about the EU but just want to hurt the tories in anyway possible, they see the leave vote as doing that. They don't even know if its a good or bad idea, they just want to lash out.

I don't think there has even been more despised party in the UK since like, Thatcher.

If Britain had a political power that was even disgruntlingly passable to the general public the BREXIT thing would not have been anywhere near as controversial as it has been.

We take money from the taxes of working people, then give it to the EU who then gives it out as grants to multinational corporations whose CEOs buy a bunch of yachts, and then they use a bit of it to claim that your grocery bill is 20 spacebucks cheaper because of all the money they get from the EU.

Greece just has to borrow the money from Germany and will basically just be kept in serfdom until the EU implodes.

Right the UK pays £350mil in a week (anyone who disputes this out of hand is brainwashed, It Is A Fact) but gets quite a lot of it back directly, plus gets stuff like region funding and CAP money back. Basically if where you live is a shithole or a farm, the EU probably has some money for you.

How much you contribute is done by a no doubt obscenely complicated algorithm but it's £18bn a year for us.

Some countries are net contributors (most northern countries), others benefit from it more than they put in (basically old Soviet/Yugoslav states).
