My fear is that we will end up still being in the EU in all but name and still paying out money to them, yet have no voting rights.

It's the worst of the two options of changing our minds and deciding to stay in or making a clean break.

I used to be all for the EU, but have not been happy with them for a good few years now for many of the reasons already covered. My main gripes are free movement of people, meaning that the countries effectively have no control over their borders and us being expected to bail out other countries who haven't sorted out their finances whilst we have been subject to austerity.

I think that there are good and bad things that would come out of staying in or leaving, but what we are likely to end up with is the worst of both options.

I know that either decision will annoy about 50% of the electorate, but this wouldn't please remainders or brexiteers. As the old saying goes, he who stands in the middle of the road gets mown down.
