In or out? Why?

come on you cunts cant have all made up your minds

I'm torn. Britain is basically the 51st state when it comes to culture, and it has nearly nothing in common with the rest of Europe. It's its own fuckoff island away from the rest of the EU, drives on the left, kept the pound sterling, etc. Switzerland has more in common and it's not even in the EU, special deals aside.
On the other hand, the UK contributes greatly to EU's scientific community. If they left it would be a problem for everyone involved in such communities, and it be very difficult for scientists and engineers to exchange themselves between the EU and the UK. This would be a big problem for human resources and anyone who wants to get a good international career. Not everyone wants to be a nationalist bound to living in the country they were born in. Protip: there are a LOT of opportunities that are only open to EU residents, so if you are young and voting yes for the sake of saying "yeah, we're independent!", you are as foolish as the sixteen-year-old girls who cried after losing the Scottish indyref even though they were about to shoot themselves in the foot by fucking their economy and their future.

I think we should stay in tbph familam. I was talking with the crew over on /ARA/ and they seem like a great bunch far less antsy and petty then you lot. They also told me that we shouldn't worry about the immigrants as it is greatly exaggerated in the media. Based merkel will sort it out don't worry boys.

it's pretty laughable to identify multinational corporations with one country anyway, let alone equating it's appearance in other countries with cultural supremacy.
Of all the countries I've lived in Europe, the UK is probably the least Americanized, anyway.
I will try to defect to UK if they vote out
BRITS OUT

why do you not like that EU? Is schengen the problem?
>>58242125
I have no problem with schengen, I have a problem with austerity.
They should really leave. The EU is a mess and out of control.
>>58242215
but austerity is not forever. Benefit of a single market are, not sure about the political integration (UK is exempt anyway)
As any level-headed, reasonable, unsheltered, cultured and pragmatic person would, I will be voting to remain.

>but austerity is not forever.
When you are a sovereign nation, not when you are part of EU.
As for the single market, it would have worked better if we had a common currency instead of our actual single currency.
It just doesn't work.
>>58237067
Norway and Switzerland are doing so bad since we are not in the EU...
>>58242656
but you still are in EFTA to access the single market and have to pay membership fees and follow regulations you have no say in and have to be in schengen
remain
because i want englanders to get butthurt
