Young people ‘want UK to stay in Europe’
by Irn Bru Mon Dec 16, 2013 8:56 am
Exclusive: Young people ‘want UK to stay in Europe’: Four in 10 adults aged 18 to 24 are ‘firmly in favour’ of membership, poll shows. Young Britons are significantly more pro-European than older generations and fear that leaving the EU would jeopardise their job prospects at home and on the Continent, research suggests.
A “generation gap” has opened up in British attitudes to Europe, with young people who have grown up with the freedom of movement reluctant to give up the right to pursue career opportunities in other EU countries.
Younger voters are also more worried that politicians’ aggressive language towards eastern European migrants could stoke up community tensions, according to the poll for the British Future think-tank. Sunder Katwala, its director, said the survey showed younger voters viewed free movement within the EU as a “two-way street”.
He added: “While some older Britons might want to pull up the drawbridge to stop more people getting in, their grandchildren are worried that this could stop them getting out to find work.”

If a referendum is held on EU membership the voters will, in my opinion, vote to stay in.

Crazy to leave in my opinion.
really only Russia Can stand on its own, the rest of Europe needs to band together to compete with the larger emerging economies, sure at the moment it China and India, but places Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia are industrialising too, it's only a matter of time before they are competitive too.
We're fucked....
well sort of, we have to accept the role of vassal state, it's not too bad we were England's and now the USA's but moving into the Chinese fold (China is actually pretty good to us) ::lightsab:: ::lightsab:: we need light sabres ::lightsab:: ::lightsab:: ::lightsab:: ::lightsab::
