Poll - Brexit, Brunsure or Bremain?

I will not continue to correct the misleading and inaccurate information being promoted by this blog and the right wing politicians on TV; on the EU impact on our lives. The Westminster government have the major impact on our lives followed by the world economy, particularly the USA, anyone who suggests otherwise needs to be judged to have a hidden or narrow agenda. I suggest to anyone who is thinking of voting to exit the biggest trading zone in the world should make a list of their reasons and spend appropriate time investigation every reason on the internet to acquire the full facts, not the tabloids headlines or brexit spin; before making a decision that will effect ours, our children's and our grandchildren lives. I am very confident that a rational discussion of the facts and assessment of risks, will lead to a decision to remain in the EU next week.

I can vote my local MP out of office, I cannot with EU `representatives` Please don`t mention MEP`s..what have they ever done for anybody? The EU has, directly & indirectly, wrecked our fishing industry, ripped us off via the CAP, not returned accounts for twenty years, the Euro will fail completely within 3 years, allowed a German haulage company to haul the whole govt.structure from Brussels to Strasbourg EVERY SINGLE WEEK..this costs £130m per year. (see The EU is corrupt, Junkcer was drunk in Latvia when on duty the other day..he has verbally threatened the UK if we leave. BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE..CAMERON HAS BEHAVED ILLEGALLY..HE IS PERSUADING US TO STAY IN WHEN THE PURPOSE OF GOVT. IN A REFERENDUM IS TO PRESENT THE FACTS, NOT TELL US HOW TO VOTE. HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE TODAY. Anybody who has thought about this vote will come to the conclusion that the EU is finished.

Andy, The "wishful thinking" is yours ! 1) UK "workers rights" pre-dated much of the EU's - e.g. Gender and Race Equality, Minimum Wage, Safety. UK Maternity & Paternity Rights are greater than the EU's. The "uncaring" Conservatives just raised the Minimum Wage. 2) The EU is stagnating while RoW is growing. 160+ countries trade with the EU (incl. USA) without being members of the EU. Almost every EU country exports more to the UK than we do to them (exceptions are very small countries). Why would any of them make trade more difficult? (esp. German car-makers and French Cheese & Wine producers) 3) The EU aids "corrupt and unelected world power" - by allowing Big Business to shape EU Rules - which hinder innovation - and loading costs onto 90% of small businesses which do no cross-border trade. 4) "Facts". Yes. Do the research. The EU is LESS democratic. Laws can only be proposed by unelected officials. After scrutiny by the Parliament they are enacted by a majority of Foreign politicians whom we cannot engage with and cannot vote out. 5) The UK has lost world "influence" inside the EU. There are over 100 World Bodies where the UK has to hope that the nice Latvian (or whoever) remembers the UK's points. By contrast, "minnows" such as Iceland and Norway have their seats and "influence". (Research World Automative for example) 6) The UK's corporate rich get richer due to stifling competition. Outside the EU a future UK Government could relieve small business of EU Red Tape. 7) Citing politicians you disapprove of is curious - unless you believe faceless, unremovable bureaucrats are better than people we can kick out of office. Yes Minister anyone? Surely it is better (safer?) to campaign for a UK Government that you approve of rather than cross fingers that the EU will deliver what you want - along with things you don't. TTIP anyone ? 8) Migration: a) I guess existing Landlords might like high demand leading to higher rents and asset values. Should Landlords disregard other impacts of uncontrolled migration: - longer waits for health care - shortage of school places - overcrowded transport and slower journeys - loss of green fields - increase in anti-social behaviour from high-density living - pollution and waste b) Migration policy is at risk of becoming "racist" - favouring low-skilled white Europeans over Indian Tech wizards !

Anyone who is voting for the future of the majority of citizens in the UK should vote IN. The EU protects workers rights, consumers rights and human rights for all its citizens to a minimum standard which should be supported by any civilised human being. The trading area of the EU is the largest and most open within thge EU zone in the world, any suggestion that trading outside this organisation would be more advantageous for workers or businesses is wishful thinking. World trade is controlled by large corporations and large undemocratic countries which exploit all smaller countries via tax avoidance, low wages, human rights violations and the environment to maximise profits and power. The EU is the only trading group we have any likelihood of protecting ourselves against this corrupt and unelected world power. Do not listen to the propaganda about the EU, the internet allows us to find the facts, its needs improvement but it is more democratic than the UK, it has a better history on protecting workers rights than the UK, it protects human rights more than the UK, and its the only realistic platform we can fight against climate change, large corporations, poverty, migration, pollution, terrorism, conflict from Russia, energy insecurity, food insecurity and unfair tradinbg/dumping. The only benefit of leaving the EU is to make the rich richer and the powerfull more powerful in the UK, just review all the politians on TV who support exit and ask yo do you want to live in a standalone country with these people in POWER ? For landlord specifically as I have been for 25year, it probably will make little difference as regulation is very UK based and immigration will continue as today as long as the economy needs additional workers, just look at non europoean immigration levels, demand will follow economic needs not political ideology. VOTE IN for the future protection of our children and grandchildren.

I will be voting out! As a landlord I expect an out vote will result in rent reductions and a slump in house prices, however I will be voting on the future of my country not my business.

I dont think the increasing regulation on landlords has anything to do with the EU. It is a sign of the times that all sectors both private and public are overregulated due to media influence and supposed calls for "transparency". Brexit will likely lead to a downfall in demand for property due to reduced immigration, as well as falling property prices. But there is some uncertainty of course, and I think the impact will be relatively low.

If it remained the Common Market trade deal with no sacrifice of sovereignty & independence' that we told we were voting to remain in in 1975 then there would be no problem. In reality it's anti democratic creeping federalisation And Edward Heath & his cronies knew that was the plan all along All these people like Obama, the PM of Japan & now India's PM telling us to remain in the EU, wouldn't dream of surrendering their own sovereignty & independence & open their borders to other countries or trade blocks to trade with them ! OUR TRADE DEAL WITH THE EU IS THE WORST TRADE DEAL IN THE WORLD This is because It's actually federalism masquerading as a trade deal. No other country in the whole world outside of the EU, pools sovereignty & opens its borders with other countries or trade blocks to trade with them. The result in a pointless one size fits all compromise, such that regardless of what is appropriate & right for one country, it is invariably dictated to by the 27 others, getting worse as more & more join. And we pay £1,000,000 an hour net for this ! It's rendered us a country virtually unable to govern ourselves. The Common Market people were told they were voting to remain in in 1975, has morphed into a Common Dictatorship. The public were lied to in 1975 then & they're being lied to now. This wonderful EU trade deal means; We can no longer fish our waters without EU interference We can no longer control our borders without EU interference. We can no longer make our own laws without EU interference. We can no longer do our own trade deals without EU interference. We can no longer do practically anything without EU interference EU open borders policy means; We now have full schools. We now have longer GP waiting times. We now have main roads that can't cope. We now have 8 years affordable housing lists. We now have the worst housing crisis since WWII. We now have loss of greenbelt at the fastest rate ever. We now have wages driven down & house prices & rents driven up. We now have more English countryside concreted over forever to house cheap imported labour comprising people who've walked away from perfectly good homes & infrastructure in Poland etc Yet trade deals, which is the reason for taking us into in the 1st place, are actually overrated. For example, we trade with the USA & India & China under WTO rules without a trade deal. Why would we want to be part of an EU trade deal, indeed if we even need a trade deal with the USA, that has the awful pro Corporatist TTIP attached to it ? If you want to be poorer and you want your children and grandchildren to face a more difficult life (both financially and socially) then go ahead and vote IN. But in just a few years time when Turkey and six other poor countries have joined, you will sincerely regret that choice. Thanks to qualified majority voting MEP's of these countries outvote us on 86% of occasions on issues of vital importance to our country. Our veto signed away in many more policy areas in Lisbon, so we're unable to block the most damaging EU legislation thrust upon us. So we're now in effect run by foreigners. No offence to foreigners. But it's simply wrong. Yet Gordon Brown, John Major etc knew this was written in the treaties when they signed them without the consent of the British people. To voluntarily surrender your country to people who you don't vote for, who you cannot remove & who are not accountable to you, has to be the most mindless thing imaginable that a person can do. Voting to remain is using democracy to bury democracy People need to know if we stay in then any future votes in elections for you or your children will be meaningless. Tory or Labour doesnt matter. They will both be getting their orders from Brussels who will gradually erase Britain from history. The Common Market free trade agreement we were told we were voting with no sacrifice of independence or sovereignty in 1975 now has; A federal state with a parliament An executive commission A criminal justice system A fledgling armed force A federal police force Law making powers A diplomatic agency A federal prosecutor A supreme court A civil service A currency An anthem A president A flag WESTMINSTER HAS Manifestos Queen's speech to announce proposed legislation Loyal opposition Elected MP's enact legislation Not bound by previous parliaments THE EU HAS No manifestos It is a one party state It is now the highest court in our land No equivalent to a queen's speech to announce proposed legislation The unelected commission creates the laws that are binding in perpetuity Everyone should watch this before they decide. 50 years of LibLabCon deception >

Landlords are generally in the demographic most likely to vote leave an it is a sector more resilient to an economic downturn than most, but if, as expected, rents and house prices fall after a vote to leave then it isn't good for business.

It makes sense to me that Landlords would be overwhelmingly pro-Leave. There is an increasing amount of legislation restricting the property rights of landlords and imposing heavy burdens on them and advantaging tenants in cases of dispute. In people's minds this stream of red tape is associated with the EU and its remote legislation-hungry bureaucracy. If Landlords are to be closely regulated—and there is no doubt there are some very poor-quality Landlords—then it seems to be preferable that such legislation be local and that the legislating body be both fully representative and fully accountable.
