Just back from Cyprus and our small poll there runs
Local Cypriots - want out of the EU but will never get the vote (tourist facing job people)
Ex-pats - want to stay, worried about change BUT one couple pointed out that some benefits were in place prior to EU because Cyprus is part of Commonwealth.

---

As an aside one restaurateur said when he opened he was approached by British expats who asked what discount he would give. When replied none they said "You don't understand, we're expats, what discount will you give us 10%, 20%, 30%". He didn't give any and since he is still there, full of locals (and we were full of his food) we didn't really care he wasn't full of Brits.
