Mark, did you actually read Detourers post? He predicts a win for remain.

Katy,
It seems that you don't
His general view, not just over the last couple of days but over the last few months is the EU will not last.

I aslo have no doubt that there is 5years max left for Europe as we know it, 20years and the demographics will kick in……. I will look you up, just to say “I told you so”……..lol

By the way…I also think that permanent Ex-Pats [like me] should not have the vote anyway.

I've seen someone raise the issue that we wouldn't vote to go in, if given the chance but this isn't the situation. We are leaving something in which our economy is heavily entwined and leaving will cause aftershocks as would a breakup of the entire thing.
Where is the glee Mark? Or is it as you say foolish because it does not agree with your scenario?

Some of us, a great number as it happens, think that your scenario will result in "economic nightmare and there would be immense suffering in some countries."

Do you think [yes a question and we know you don't like questions] that the EU is not already entwined in an economic nightmare. And, are you happy and willing for the present situation of scandal and corruption to continue unchecked?

You say "We are leaving something in which our economy is heavily entwined and leaving will cause aftershocks as would a breakup of the entire thing." So at least we agree on that then.

I sincerely believe that a safe and secure future of Europe is in serious doubt.

No glee Mark.....maybe a touch of sadness as I sail away, win or lose.......But Hey-Ho

Ho
And that's your opinion
We go back to what we were saying in another thread. This clouded view of the past that did not exist.
Just over 15 years before the advent of the EU, Europe was at war with each other.
45 years before not all men over the age of 18 could vote and hardly any woman, not only that there was another war. Poverty was rife.
As far as I can see it Europe is a much safer place than pre EU days. Sure our politicians could create laws but not to the benefit of the majority. Sure we have new security problems now but the they are nowhere near as dangerous by the wars of the prevous hundred years.
So no I don't agree with you .

I know it's boring but can I just reiterate that no one knows what will happen if we leave the EU although we have some idea of what will happen if we stay inside the EU. A great deal of what has been posted on here is subjective and comes from our own standpoint be that political or financial; i.e. how well-off we are and whether or not we are in recipe of pensions and do or do not get health cover from the UK. There are even such vast gulfs between the polls with the Remain camp leagues in front and the Leave camp even further in front. (Not a typo.) I think I've almost made up my mind to vote for ... but I'm still not sure!

Detourer you certainly come across as rather smug if not gleeful. I'm all right Jack, doesn't worry me, made more than enough money and I don't care about anyone left behind. Just my opinion of course :D

Very typical of a remainer post :mrgreen: no one knows what will happen if the UK stays in. More money sucked out for Brussels, EU army, changes to VAT rules being worked on right now. Budget on ice until after we vote. There is no idea what Europe will look like in a year, they just respond to the crisis. Of course the certainty of being able to stay in Spain is assured, that's what it's all about really. Although a few interviewed in Fuengirola on SKY news wanted out but they could have been holidaymakers :D

Your opinion that ex-pats shouldn't vote is irrelevant basically because it makes no difference to me what you think, I've exercised my right to vote, which is not opinion but fact.

You could start a new thread regarding your view and then it could discussed on its merits.

No not smug or gleeful, just honest with ones self and belief more like.

I didn't move to Spain because it was warmer and I will move-on not just because of the shambolic EU. What I did do was, against the odds, work my a~@e off, paid a huge amount of taxes and employed a large number of people. I look around and I listen and now think No Thank You!

I respect your choice of both habitation location and your future hopes and plans...........However I do not need approval of mine.

In 4/5 years or so I will check and see how its all going.........Hopefully no reason to say "I told you so"........lol

You keep coming back to that and as already discussed, in or out makes no difference to existing resident both here and in the UK .

Expats would also enjoy significant legal protections that would apply after Brexit. Many lawyers argue that British expats living elsewhere in the EU at the time of Brexit would have individual "acquired rights" under international law.

This is based on the Vienna Convention of 1969, which says that the termination of a treaty "does not affect any right, obligation or legal situation of the parties created through the execution of the treaty prior to its termination.” The House of Commons Library says that "withdrawing from a treaty releases the parties from any future obligations to each other, but does not affect any rights or obligations acquired under it before withdrawal."

In other words, Brits who have already exercised their right to live in EU states would keep that right after Brexit.

Agree but a lot of expats are worried, particularly about health care.

If the UK votes in and if I were younger I would be out of Europe pronto.

I guess a vote either in or out, won't stop the Albanians lining up on the other side of the Channel.

It will be interesting to see how the two latest "people smugglers" got on in court.
