EU membership How do we vote ?

Think I'm voting "in" but probably would even if I didn't have property here.

As an owner abroad, and a regular visitor spending 4 to 5 months a year here, these are the implications that immediately spring to mind -

£/€ rate would probably plummet - €1.10 has been forecast.
Not good if you spend £10k a year here.
However, that would be ok if you want sell up but then the number of British buyers would reduce so it might be more difficult to sell.

EU reciprocal health care (European Health Insurance) would undoubtably cease.

Significant reduction in the amount of alchohol/tobacco/cigarettes that you would be able to take home.

I think if we came out then we would sell up as soon as possible.
Probably end up buying a static caravan in the UK

I suppose I can understand a bit that some want to secede.  Irritating rules apparently from Brussels, but not always so.  Interference with our court decisions etc.
However, we have had over 70 years of peace among the original EU members and for me that is priceless.  We are all friends including France and Germany.
I'm for staying in.  Fortunately we're not a Schengen country.  That agreement is probably on borrowed time anyway.
It'll be interesting to see how the vote goes in each country of the UK.  It seems that the greatest pressure for secession comes from England but we shall see.
Once more we live in interesting times.

If that happens the last recession in Portugal will seem like a picnic in the park, exodus of comparitvely well off Brits,with the collapse of an already fragile property market, massive downturn in tourism due to poor exchange rate, and the return of thousands of young Portuguese workers from the UK looking for none existent jobs.
I hope I am wrong.

Bonkers Boris has joined the out campaign. NO WAY BOYO, do you think we would trust the Conservatives to look after Human rights, workers rights etc? No, they would take great pleasure in removing all rights from " ordinary people" and give more power to the rich and the bloody royalty.

Rights? Rights?? Since when has anyone in a modern western country had rights?

"We are are all slaves to a system we can do nothing about, short of armed insurrection."

(I read that somewhere. Look where the last lot of revolutions got anyone! I suppose at least France, Germany, Italy and Portugal get to elect their royalty.)

I can see the agents for 70% of English Premier League footballers anxiously engaging in seeking new clubs for their horde of EU clients. Sky Sports going out of business as the foreign superstars flee the UK and the product becomes unsellable.

These are the kind of scare stories we shall no doubt be reading in the coming months.

As a resident, very much "in". Like Dicey I would be voting that way regardless.

mmmm seems  posts have been deleted. Why!!!!
