It would appear that most of my peer group face the same kind of quandary. I have had a few opportunities to discuss the subject with my family and my friends but for me/them/us, clarity has not been forthcoming.
I would love to have the facts laid out in an unbiased fashion but that seems impossible given the fug of domestic and international politics that surrounds the subject and the exponents of staying or leaving.
- The scaremongering, points scoring, personal abuse and general rhetoric are just not helpful
- I am bothered that the government can spent £9 million of tax payers’ money printing a booklet that is broadly one-sided when the opposition has much less funding to present its arguments. Yet a decent booklet would be bloody helpful!
- It worries me that the best piece of journalism I have read on the subject was written by Boris Johnson and appeared in the Telegraph (a paper I don’t normally read)
- I am concerned that people will vote based upon who they like, or Cameron’s tax affairs and not the real issues (which to be frank, they probably don’t understand anyway)
- I can’t even make up my mind up how I feel about Obama’s intervention
And yet this referendum is more important to the future of the country than alternative voting and Scottish independence put together.
It’s maddening!
