Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

That is a very erudite synopsis of the current climate.
I think that what might influence the aquatics a little is that there are going to have to be some hefty hikes in contributions in the coming months and years....and I guess it will also depend on how those still in the bloc view the economic situation here.
Once we get out properly and can forge ahead economically (for that is the hope) then maybe that will be a motivating feature.
Poland won't jump ship...it gets far more out than it puts in.
The EU talk about 'level playing fields' yet they do not practice what they preach.
How can it make sense for a country to contribute 7 billion Euros, but take 11 billion from the pot(by the way, those figures were plucked from the ether, they are not what Poland pay....or at least I don't think so).
