OK but is that mandated by the EU? Also successive Labour and Tory governments have been using private tendering of state-run services for ages. If anything we're more in favor of that arrangement than most of the EU. If the EU do such a thing it may well be of our own making.

It's talk like that will lead to the demise of the NHS. It is NOT finished. The money we save from the EU will see to that.

Do you really think money "saved" from any EU exit would really go to front line services? Dream on ...

I'm annoyed there's no neutral party providing information, as currently were being given conflicting information.

The various pros and cons are going to be different according to individual perspective, so on this one, your gut feeling is probably going to be as good as it gets.

Simply put. A vote to remain in the EU is that you are happy with what they are doing and what their future plans are for the Union regardless of whether you believe it's better to remain or not.

Cameron bangs on about Britain being better off in a 'Reformed EU' and that is very possible. However, where are the reforms? What did he actually achieve? If the question being asked on June 23rd is this,

Should Britain remain a member of a Reformed EU?

Remain

Leave.

then the question is misleading as the EU is NOT reformed.

The Question should be simply this:

Should Britain remain a member of the EU?

Remain:

Leave:

I think voters going to the polls should read it as just that and not as a 'Reformed EU' because it isn't.

The answer would depend on who is in Government.

The whole planet is meant to be unified according to Christian or other Religious beliefs. The question then is this: Will we end up with a world Government.

First we have 4 Super States:

America.
Europe.
Asia.
Eastern Bloc..

What's next. The 4 heads then decide on one Government for the whole planet?

George Orwell would be proud to know his visions came true. They are already. The EU is Eurasia. The UK Airstrip One.
