Put my vote in.
Please England, do the right thing.
phisheep is right, we can easily re-visit our stance on the EU if something dramatic changes, but we will more than likely never get the power we have now back if we left today.
The modern world has globalisation at its very core, it's a backwards step to isolate. You can say what you like about Britain 'getting good deals' but it seems to ignore one very important factor: human nature. The EU will be salty and prickly if a Leave vote happens, and you bet they'll make petty concessions that will take away the much vaunted power you desire, even if it theoretically hurts them in the short/medium term.
We're one of the three most powerful nations in the EU, and we mostly get our way. The Leave campaign have been woefully dishonest about this, we are not a little baby nation that gets constantly ignored.
The EU has great worker and consumer protections, and the free movement is an incredible thing that allows us to think big when it comes to careers and leisure. Yes, immigration is problematic for low-skilled jobs, but to be completely honest, these jobs are on a time limit anyway, since they'll be the first to be automated by robotics when it becomes possible. It's a reality that we'll have to face. Hopefully the governments from now until that point make the transition as smooth as possible for the people in these jobs, but curbing immigration is a temporary solution to a critical problem. On the other end of the job market, immigration is crucial to helping our public services in a time of austerity which is causing brain drain and curbing people from entering further education/specialized training.
I believe it's never the solution to ignore working together, true politics is compromise. It's not throwing the toys out the pram. I voted Remain.
If you are unsure, I hope you either vote Remain or research enough before the day is out to come to a solid conclusion for voting Leave.
Please vote though, it's always good to see high turnouts.
