Hopefully we will stay in, as we are waiting for the result before we decide wether to buy or not over there.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2016 21:16:46 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96292.html#96292 <![CDATA[EU membership How do we vote ? : Thanks for all replies and comments.Think...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96288.html#96288 Author: Norm55

Thanks for all replies and comments. Think it will go in favour of staying in and it appears from views on here this will be beneficial to us as owners. But that is just us. I doubt if the average man in street can make a clear judgement. We dont know enough. ]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:57:06 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96288.html#96288 <![CDATA[EU membership How do we vote ? : Yes Algarveaddick i remember a...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96221.html#96221 Author: Luis

Yes Algarveaddick i remember a few days ago seeing on the BBC news what was seen as a big victory to George Osborne and that was that HSBC would be keeping its headquarters in London.

One of the big dangers of the vote is that it is been seen by many as a vote on immigration, without looking at the wider implications of membership of the EU, wether it is beneficial or not for the whole of the UK ]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2016 11:08:03 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96216.html#96216 <![CDATA[EU membership How do we vote ? : Cannot argue with any of that...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96214.html#96214 Author: Algarveaddick

Cannot argue with any of that Luis. The main thing the UK has is financial services, a big part of that success is access to the EU via London. If that goes there's a big danger a lot of overseas (non EU)trade will go to Frankfurt... ]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2016 10:26:54 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96214.html#96214 <![CDATA[EU membership How do we vote ? : Im Portuguese and been living...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96207.html#96207 Author: Luis

Im Portuguese and been living in teh Uk for 16 years now,don't know how the out vote would affect me that hasn't really been explained yet... Here in the Uk the supporters of the out vote Such as Ian Dunacn Smith,Michael Gove or boris Johnson argue that Britain would be ina strong position to do better business deals my question is what is to negociate really as over the years Politicians managed to kill a big part of things like Industry manufacturing etc etc and sold for example the energy company to Foreign companies...

real question might be ... where would Portugal, Spain and Greece have been if NOT in the EU .... I think we all know the answer to that one.

Still not sure how to vote in this one. Most likely I will vote to remain, simply because the EU protect us with its Human Rights Laws and Workers protection Laws which given the chance our ultra right wing Tory Government would love to abolish. However my doubts come when you see how the EU treats "Its Partners" like Greece who elected a left wing government which the EU don`t approve of and basically they shafted the people of Greece. ( I know Greece had lived beyond its means for many years, but what the EU did was awful) Would similar stuff happen if say Portugal or any other small country found itself in trouble ? ]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2016 11:24:40 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96202.html#96202 <![CDATA[EU membership How do we vote ? : Did my application for voting...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96197.html#96197 Author: cubsur

Dicey, thanks for info, all noted and respect to you for that but... there are other stronger comments on here so I'm glad Tom's confirmed the 'mods' will monitor closely.
It sure is a tough one to debate and I'm sure we are going to get some scary stories, in both directions, over the next few months.
I wonder if postal voting will be available for those who will be away from home on June 23rd.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 15:30:50 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/eu-membership-how-do-we-vote_topic9297_post96124.html#96124
