[quote=Anonymous]It's a complex subject but the real reason driving the referendum is immigration. Under EU regulations, all EU citizens have the right to live and work in the UK. As the UK has one of the strongest economies in Europe, there has been massive immigration of EU nationals into the UK, which followed a decade of massive immigration of non EU people under the previous Labour government, who pretty much opened the floodgates.

The rapid population rise has resulted in a severe housing shortage and overburdened social services, including hospitals and schools.

The UK has always been one of the most euroskeptic countries with the EU and the EU-UK relationship has always been dicy and controversial. As the Eu inches towards greater federalisation, the UK has been opposed to it.

I do not know how the referendum will work out but I do not foresee happy times between the UK and the EU in the long run. Even if the Remain side wins, it's solely out of fears of economics rather than support of the EU.
