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.

I disagree with your decision - although the EU is far from perfect I trust it more than Westminster - but I do agree that there are fabrications on both sides.

As Paul Lewis put it on Twitter, "Remain predictions are inherently unprovable. Leave 'facts' often wrong." So what we're (both) doing is turning our backs on the information that's put in front of us, believing it all to be propaganda, and voting with our gut instincts. Hardly the best way to do things, is it?

Call me an incorrigible romantic and obscurantist but going with my gut appeals to me.
