Early days I know but I'm surprised that 30% are saying they'd vote to leave, after all people on this forum I would guess have more of a vested interest in staying in than  the public as a whole.

Only those ex-pats with a residencia have a particular" vested interest", as they stand to lose their access to healthcare.

The biggest threat to the stay in campaign will be the millions of average joe public who live on estates with normal employment earning average wages.To us the big picture doesnt matter, the long term is irrelevant what we see every day is our taxes subsidising europe with our schools and hospitals collapsing under the growing population. Yes an academic will argue that the UK benefits and it probably does but do we care.

All that means is more suffering for tourist areas reliant on uk visitors, most people have a budget spend,a poor rate just means less euros or dollars in the till, no winners methinks

In a nutshell, do you vote for a mix of politicians from various European nations to spend our money on hair brained schemes, or do you vote for British politicians to waste our money on hair brained schemes.

Every clouds got a sliver lining :D

A year ago we seriously considered putting the Spanish house on the market...........looking into her crystal ball our solicitor said "if you dont need the money hold on for a few years.........property prices are on the up and the exchange rate can only get better"

Ignoring any price increase the exchange rate means a sale now would deliver £14,250 more into the UK bank account than it did a year ago.

I doubt there will be, but if there's a sterling collapse come late June there might be a house for sale on Novamar at a very attractive price for a quick sale.

I said ignoring any price increase, if prices have gone up, which they appear to have done,  I'll be able to treat myself to a few more cigars

We had three topics running concurrently with the subject line "Brexit". I have now merged them into one topic i.e. this one.
