No matter what, you aren't voting for the status quo.

Good Morning,

The constant rhetoric from people I work with on the topic of the EU referendum, when they hear which way I will be voting, is that the Brexiteers would cause the destruction of our economy. One went as far as to personalise this and say 'You are to blame when our economy collapses' and another shouted 'You are responsible for how our country turns out!' The latter I was proud to hear.

We hear that to leave the EU is a 'Leap in the dark' which is a fair assessment in my opinion. It is a leap in the dark. We don't know how the future will play out if we leave. We don't know what will happen to the economy, we don't know what will happen with immigration and we don't know what will happen with the security of our country and her borders.

These arguments are all also valid arguments against staying in the EU.

Daniel Hannan (MEP), 'The status quo isn’t on offer in this referendum.' - And how true this is.

Voting to leave has unknown consequences. But voting to remain definitely also has unknown risks. We don't know for certain that countries like Turkey will not become members of the EU, that there will not be an EU army formed, that the Euro will be forced upon the UK for 'ever closer union 'and we don't know if the EU economies will need bailing out again.

However, What we can be certain of is that if the UK votes to leave we will have the power to deal with the issues that present themselves to our great nation as they arise in a timely manner. Rather than having to wait for Eurocrats to act and hope that they act in our best interest.

We can be certain that if we leave we will not be part of an EU army and be forced into conflicts and issues that our not in our countries best interest.

We can be certain that if we leave we will not have to bail out other European nations when there economies collapse, which some are certainly bound for.

It is easy for fat cat politicians to support remain as when it all goes tits up, they can blame the EU. The right path is independence. The right path is for our elected representatives to control legislation in our great nation and to represent our views.

A vote for leave is a vote for freedom, a vote for our own path. A vote to cut the dependency of other nations on the strength of ours.

'You are responsible for how our country turns out!' - I would love to be remembered as part of a movement that liberated Great Britain from the EU. That removed the tyranny of the EU commissioners and allowed democracy to rule our Great Britain.
