the one big thing thats bothering me tho is that when it comes to most who want to leave the EU its not about anything economic, its always tho talking about immigration.. like "they are taking our jobs" or "they only come here for benefits, housing and free healthcare" and the biggest lie of all is how they supposedly get money thrown at them and how rents a rising because they are here.
employment is falling because of CEOs cost cutting in order to pay more to their shareholders while pushing their current employees to do more for less. the NHS is failing because the government have been cutting funding not because of immigration and this so called health tourism there is no proof in fact there has been an independent investigation into this which which found no proof if it.
as for benefits, immigrants just cant claim straight away in fact the majority do tend to find employment working in the lowest paid sectors and they usually have to wait months before being able to claim anything if they do.and they dont get free money to buy cars and such which my family keep on telling me.. in fact every time lm told such stories its usually always a friend of a friend told them not the actual person who experienced for example some polish person walking in with a £5000 cheque from the DWP to buy a car.. theres no way in hell the DWP will give someone that much money.
as for rents, it has nothing to do with immigration, its just money grabbing landlords gouging as much as they can from their tenants..
dont get me wrong the EU isnt perfect, but if you based decisions purely on immigration then l hate to say it, but its a very narrow minded view which doesnt take into consideration how much we will loose.
heres some other things l think are important (quoted from the Vox political blog which makes some good points which was in related to a recent Question time episode).
this is one of my main worries, that ppl are purely voting based on immigration because most of what l hear now seems make me feel we are walking a very thin line of hate.
l agree with this, Camerons position has been faltering for quite a while now with talk of his leadership being challenged, and lets face it Cameron will do anything to retain power, this referendum is just proof he will do anything to appease his critics within the party. not to mention lve heard talk from both UKIP and some Cons saying if the vote to remain in wins then they will push for another referendum (tho l doubt it will happen it just shows me the mindset of those desperate to get out and profit from it).
l think this is a pretty important point, and Patel and IDS have already hinted at their dislike of certain employment laws.. and l dont trust the Tories without the EU to keep such rights enshrined in law.
sovereignty has always been the main argument of the leave campaign and those who hate the EU, but like the above point states.. Brussles doesnt dictate our laws our governments choose which ones to opt into.. politicians who complain however obviously have something to loose if they are so adamant the EU is impeding them.
l think this says it all really.... if there is more profit to be made the Tories will take advantage of that and once out we wont have all those pesky EU employment/human rights laws that cant currently be repealed stopping them.. because you can bet that the laws will be edited in order to allow things that under the current discussions to give more power to corporations.. a good example of the Conservatives doing just that would be the queens speech.. which stated if the queens speech was amended after having been submitted for the queen to read then the PM should resign, that line was removed after Cameron caved into pressure regarding the protection of the NHS in relation to TTIP.
l find some truth in this with regards to the Tories and stopping them from doing whatever they want but essentially the whole situation boils down to us and the EU not party based politics.
l think this one speaks for itself.
another good point imho.
this is one reason why l dont think we should be having a referendum now.. its not the time especially when you consider that if these MPs are found guilty then it brings into question the whole general elections of 2015.. it would mean they didnt have a majority because it was only gained by fraud.
