Lion Heart 15,041 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The UK is set to go to the polls in a historic referendum on whether the country should remain a member of the European Union or leave. Polling stations are open between 07:00 BST and 22:00 BST. An estimated 46,499,537 people are entitled to take part in the vote - a record number for a UK poll. It is only the third nationwide referendum in UK history and comes after a four-month battle for votes between the Leave and Remain campaigns. In common with other broadcasters, the BBC is limited in what it can report while polls are open but you can follow the results as they come in across the BBC after polls close on Thursday evening. The referendum ballot paper asks the following question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" Whichever side gets more than half of all votes cast is considered to have won. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36602702 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 172,380 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why do they wanna leave again? I'll be honest, the first thing I saw about this was John Oliver's segment on it and most of the comments were saying he "sold out" and it was propaganda against a "Brexit" Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3ARS 4,132 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Dear god, PLEASE remain a member of the European Union It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, the first thing I saw about this was John Oliver's segment on it and most of the comments were saying he "sold out" and it was propaganda against a "Brexit" They don't want immigrants. Immigration is easy for EU as it doesn't require a visa - if they leave it will and that makes it harder. Here's why that doesn't hold up in 3 simple points though... 1) Immigrants are proven to be beneficial to the economy. 2) By leaving the EU the healthcare system will lose a lot of really good doctors that are there because of EU benefits. 3) By leaving they give up their decision making power in the EU but will still have to abide by the EU regulations. Basically, they are going to lose any and all power they have over the EU and then still be forced to follow EU regulations after they leave all because some people want less immigrants. There's actually probably going to be a large global recession if they leave because trade in that region will be so incredibly screwed over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany and France are the most important members. They created the ECSC(/EEC/EU) without the UK. I hope Leave will win because the United Kingdom is hurting the european construction. The country has been blackmailing other governments for decades, asking for more and more privileges and preventing from an ambitious and more integrated construction. It's unfair and it's not the aim of the Union. If they don't get that, of course they can go out. But don't expect to come back in the future... Just keep in mind the UK refused to be a charter member of the EU but changed its mind a few years after and France vetoed the adhesion. Then in 1975, a first referendum took place and 67% voted to remain. Not to mention the United Kingdom will probably implode because Scotland will want to reintegrate the EU. Brexit won't be the end of the EU but the end of the UK. And the end of the mess of the UK membership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
