Showing Original Post only (View all)Two diff ppl in past 2 days have told me "If England votes to Leave, I don't want to stay here." [View all]
Not because of possible economic collapse (although, that too!), but because if the people of England really want to vote to become provincial xenophobic isolationists cut off from the rest of the world, my friends don't want to live in a country with people like that.
I am married to one of the people I reference who are considering leaving the EU if the Leave campaign prevails, so this referendum could seriously affect the future for me.
Anyone else seriously considering leaving if Leave wins?

Not an option for me but, until this week, I hadn't even considered that the Leavers might win.

Some people always say such things in advance of an unfortunate anticipated result of an election.
