Rolling the Dice

[poliphilo]

No-one knows what the future holds so no-one knows whether Britain will be better off in the EU or not. Every argument meets with a counter-argument and there are ghastly people on both sides. Who do I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with, Nigel Farage or Peter Mandelson? Tough one, that.

A vote to stay is a vote for the status quo- and since I heartily dislike the status quo I'm voting to get out. I know I may come to regret this, but...

...It seems the braver thing to do.

What I dislike?

The corruption of the EU

Its vicious treatment of Greece

Its domination by Germany

The lack of democratic accountability...

I accept there are also reasons for staying in.

They ARE the reasons for staying in - to forge a left-wing alliance for reform and democracy. We can't do that by staying outside the tent, pissing in.
