    At a time when Europe should be standing in solidarity against the aggression of the illegal Russian regime to the east, Britain defiantly votes whether or not to crack the framework of Western unity, and set a dangerous precedent that undermines the US's ability to unify individual European states around vital foreign policy goals. Please do not vote to leave the EU.

        I'd be happy that they leave. They have never been part of Europe anyway. Too bad we can't vote.

                Well, on the other hand if they leave, the visage of the honourable mr. Farage will be less often in the news. It's a fair trade-off.

                One way or another - we will soon see less of him - unless someone wants to set up a tradition similar to the one we have on November 5th.

                      Support for the EU was very high right after WW2 and have since dwindled quite a bit. One of the main ideas was to make the European economies dependent on each other, to reduce the risk of all-out war. Naturally, this had some side effects, mostly that some decisions are not made locally or even nationally. If Britan decided to leave, EU will have quite a bit to say about it, so you can 'vote' then.

                        I was hoping that if we leave, we could "accidentally" send him to Paris on a couple of weeks holiday, and then revoke his passport... :sigh:

                          Yes, as a leader when you owned a part of it, but never as a partner with the will to construct something together. This is a cultural thing, IMO, and I see UK culturally much more nearer US than Europe.

                            The refugee "crisis" also, once the initial turmoil is over, presents a unique opportunity for European states to throw aside their cultural differences and create a more blended and inclusive culture, ending the root causes of both world wars for future generations.

                                I get the impression that what people are afraid of is that people will not be integrated into the country where they live. I also find the European culture to be a little too broad concept. Clearly, there are large differences in the cultures of for instance Spain, England and the Nordic countries to name a few.

                                        You might want to check out your European history a bit there - the UK has a long history of working with various European countries. You might also want to ignore the media here in the UK - it's very biased on this.

                                          I'm not sure that we do. I live in a very safe constituency and as such my vote has no influence whatsoever. According to the Voter Power Index[^] the average UK voter has 6.67 times more influence than I do and the good people of Swansea West have 24.78 times more. Even the good people of Swansea West have no influence over the House of Lords. My vote for an MEP is, in a very real sense, the closest I ever get to having an electoral voice.
