I'm still undecided. Initially, I would have voted to stay in, without
much thought, then, after some listening and reading, I veered towards
out. Now, I just don't know, although stay seems favourite.

What is the EU really all about? Go back 60+ years and an integrated
Europe was about prevention of another European war. That was first and
foremost, at least from the British view. Anything else was almost a
bonus.

Look at the possibility of a UK exit from the European side. Is it
really about Britain leaving, or about Britain setting a precedent? Were
we to leave, would any other countries follow? Not the recent members,
but any of the longer term 'traditional' European countries who also
feel hard done by? The possibility of the EU becoming Germany and all
the hangers on?

Just suppose Brexit did result in other exits over time and, eventually,
to the downfall of Europe as we have known it since WWII. Just suppose
it did lead to another European war. Could I ever forgive myself if I
had voted out, even if I were six feet under by then?


Europe has already fallen. The war is happening right now.


That's probably true.
