10m UK homes to receive pro-Europe campaign leaflet | Politics | The Guardian

Are you anti/pro?

I'm pro in the sense of better the devil you know (we don't even use a lot of the benefits available to us), but reform wouldn't hurt either.

I'm pro. Yes there's bureaucracy and money wasted, but the EU brought regulations that protect regular people ( anti discrimination, eurocodes, etc)

I'm pro, partly because I am in favour of a lot of things that being part of the EU brings but also because of a deep sense of dread about what Cameron & Co would get up to if left entirely to their own devices.

I'm pro, although that should be fairly obvious...

At least I'm married to a German now, so if the UK pulls out, it won't be so bad for me, although I might still need to get German citizenship.

Also Pro here although reform is needed in a big way and not the nibbling round the edges Cameron is trying to get either.

Pro.

My wife is german so I have an 'in'. If the UK forces me to choose between the UK or the EU, I'm gone.

The UK sucks.

Cautiously pro - we're in too deep to do anything else IMO. Although, I do wonder what will happen to us if the euro-chums ever decide to go for full fiscal union.

i am anti EU and the sooner the referendum is held the better as i believe it will be an overwhelming out vote
the only way to get a better deal for trade or otherwise is outside the EU ...

Given your predictions about UKIP's performance in the last general election, I'm not holding my breath for your prediction to come through.

Don't count him out yet, he still has his race war predictions to live for - and those never expire.
In the meantime we should stay in Europe, if only to avoid becoming petty and parochial little Englanders.
