HAVE YOUR SAY

WOULD YOU VOTE TO STAY IN THE EU?

So which one is it?

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(106)

THE European Union is determined to press ahead with the hated EU Constitution, even though Irish voters have soundly rejected it.

Brussels Eurocrats want to ignore the wishes of the people - French and Dutch voters have also booted out the plans - and press ahead with 'democratic' referendums until they get the result they want.

***** SHOULD BRITAIN LEAVE THE EU? VOTE NOW *****

Gordon Brown has ratified the Lisbon Treaty - the constitution by another name - but only by breaking a major 2005 election pledge to consult with the British people.

Meanwhile, former EU President Valery Giscard d"Estaing has even hinted the fundamental principle that if one nation says no, it means no - should be scrapped from EU law to allow Eurocrats complete control.

He said of Ireland: "A country that represents 0.7 per cent of the European population cannot decide for the others."

So, here at Express.co.uk, we want to give you a democratic voice - and find out what YOU think.

Is this the Europe Britain agreed to join back in 1973?

Do you think we gain more from being in the EU than we would on our own?

Are you fed up with being dictated to by Brussels - or are you convinced Britain needs the EU to prosper?

If there was a referendum tomorrow...what would YOU do?

Would YOU vote to leave the EU?

VOTE TO STAY IN THE EU?

NO.
Vote for a european free trade area, YES
That was the original concept, structured correctly without loads of beurocrats, the EC could!! be a force, to compete with the other big trading nations, what we have now is a very expensive joke, making a few very rich, it is corrupt, "accounts that have never been signed off" it is most definately holding the countries involved back from ever being competative.
Get back to the original idea of a free trade area, between member states and leave it at that.

I may be wrong in saying this, but as an act of Parliament was to ratify the treaty the Queen had no choice but to sign it up.

She does not have autonomous power over the House. Shame really because she's probably got more sense in her corgi than the whole of the government.

The money it costs the UK to be a member out wieghs the benifits, the only oeople who benifit from EU member ship are any one but the UK, we now have no fishing industry, agriculture is stopped from producing cheap food by EU quotas, we have rerdiculas laws which have been been thought up by some european minister who could not survive outside of the grinding dictatorship of the EU goverment, again unelected goverment, Norway has never joined the EU and has never suffered from not being a member, we do not need to be a member of this draconion job making machine for failed or ex priministers.
I will vote for any party that whants us to leave the EU and so would the majority of the UK elctrate

How could you sell off your subjects and centurys of history by signing this made up
farce of of a constitution. Does this mean we are
no longer your subjects and you have no need
of our taxes.Are you to known as the dumb Queen, some one without a say.Is there a
possiblity you have sold us all off for some
sort of added revenue, or a replastering of Buckingham Place, sorry to hear of what you did Maam.

Europe was only ever voted in as a common market if it to be redifined from this then Each country have to vote again as to what they want from europe Trade YES anything else NO,
if they dont want to trade then they obviosly don,t need the money and we go else where.
Bring back a democratic society and Lets all
vote or europe get lost.It seems that we are all sleep walking into a communist controlled
way of life.Once this is pushed through forget having a say on what is going to happen to you
You won,t have ,at least one that matters.

YOU ARE CHANGING MY MIND

I can understand Michael's point about the EU funding and even the corruption but I find it sad to think of a EU without Britain and I also imagine other european countries may find it as a "selfish" move from a country who doesn't very much care about Europe in the first place.
