I WOULD SUGGEST THAT FEELING IS EVEN STRONGER "UP NORTH" UNLIKE THE LEAFY TYPES ON NSC WHO WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE DIFFERENT :wink:

The South East and South West England regions tend towards Out whereas the North West and North East regions tend towards In. The northern preference for staying in may be reinforced by the fact that 72 per cent of inward investors in 2014 gave the UK's access to the single market as an important driver for choosing this country to build their factories in. Concern for the future may sometimes wear a Nissan badge.

Ironically, both of those things could be completely wrong. E.g. the Norway model - which has been advocated by some of the out camp:
1) Norway has a HIGHER per capita immigration than the UK
2) Norway has to play by the EU trade rules, but has NO vote on them, i.e. we would have even less control over our destiny.

That might not be the post-leave UK that you want... but some of the out camp do. Which one are we being asked to vote for??

Norway is a tiny nation with 5million people. It does as its told apparently.

It has no power so has to play by the EU rules. Lucky Norway .

This came from David Smith, the traditionally dry (in the Thatcher sense) Economics Editor of the regularly sceptic Sunday Times, on 3 April. Having made it clear that there are a number of reasons for FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in the UK - the English language and legal system among them - he wrote... "But it would also be folly to deny that EU membership is an important determinant inward investment. EY, the accountancy and professional services firm, provides the most comprehensive annual survey of FDI. It (last year's report)... found that 72 per cent of inward investors cited access to the single market as important to their decision". He then went on to quote PwC's and the Bank of England's recent conclusions, which predicted much the same situation. His article concludes "...EU membership has been good for inward investment, particularly foreign direct investment. If that ends, it seems inevitable inward investment will suffer."

Clearly, as David Smith says, not all FDI will be touched by a an exit. Investment in infrastructure would not be affected, except to the extent that Brexit will reduce growth prospects.

PS - sorry, you may have been asking for my source for the data showing the Remain tendencies of the NE and NW and the Out tendencies of the SE and SW. Yougov, quoted in Daily Telegraph 26 February.

I'M VOTING FOR CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY AND A REDUCTION OF PEOPLE ENTERING THE COUNTRY as simple as that, if there's a few extras lets wait and see

Unfortunately for you we will have less control. We want access to our biggest market? It comes with strings - EU regulation and freedom of movement. Out: less control and no recourse available to get the rules changed, this is the "illusion of sovereignty" Cameron talks about. IN we can fight for our interests, out we accept meekly the law written in Brussels like Norway has to. Vote IN, take control.

And if we Remain there will be even less opportunities because there will be so many people in this country chasing jobs, even more people will be pushed in to poverty. If we Remain and then go in to recession who is going to help you out?

neither of these things would happen with leave. get real

Do you want more people coming to this country or less? If we Remain how do you propose we limit the number of people coming from the EU.

Leaving the EU makes our own politicians accountable for our borders, the rules on free movement will no longer apply to us. We can control who comes in, based on need.

Who is this Corbyn figure. He pretends to bring in new politics without the usual nonsenense and then the first real debate he engages in he walks away from his principles to recomend IN. He really is a charlatan. What a nonsense. At least with Skinner you know what you have got. Vote SKINNER

Why do you think that? No other country in western Europe claims that - even non-EU members like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland open their borders to EU nationals.
