If the UK votes to leave then I'm going to claim dual citizenship. Even though I wasn't born in Germany I am still eligible because my father is a native born German. This gives me and my husband access to the EU.
I don't fault anyone for wanting to vote to leave because there have been stories in the media for many years now about the amount of money spent on EU membership and how we can't write our own laws. But it's also known that the ones who are funding the Leave campaign and the government are trying to rid us of all the costly laws that make life better for us in order to stimulate the economy and subsequently make themselves richer in the process. So for me it comes down to whether I trust Westminster and the Tories. In a word, no.
What's annoying though is that the baby boomers are doing it again. That demographic has gone through its entire life getting their way at the expense of all other demographics. And this time they're overwhelmingly voting to leave while younger voters are generally voting to stay. So they'll soon die off leaving a population outside of the EU who wanted to stay in.
