As a member of the pedelec forum it has to be Remain.

The EU rescued us in Nanny State Britain from the strict 200 watts limit, the silly weight limits on e-bikes and trikes and the 12 mph assist speed limit.

Hi Tony, perhaps I should have phrased the question differently as I did not intend it to be purely about pedelecs, simply how forum members would vote.
So I have edited the text accordingly:oops:

I'm still a remainer, even without pedelecs

Didn't see that, thanks for the heads up, now we can all vote 3 times...if we are UK citizens.
Not only UK citizens, any of the 2.1 billion Commonwealth members who will be in the UK on referendum day can vote if they pre-registered. Yes, really. They'd almost all be brexiters too, since they really resent having to get visas to visit the mother country since we joined the EU, even more so since the Queen is also their monarch.

Being part of Europe is better than being separate and having another war.
Even though we have nukes and Germany hasn't. ;-)

I don't see how us leaving the EU automatically signals the onset of war. What's wrong with us maintaining a friendship, helpful and trade based relationship with other countries in the EU without unelected political interference?

If another country has difficulty with the UK extending friendship helpfulness and trade and feels that this policy need to be extinguished and challenged through a declaration of war against us, then yes it's a good thing that we do have access to nuclear weapons.

Is the plague of frogs a threat if we stay or leave? I'm so confused by all the ficts and factoids. Which one brings the everlasting darkness and smell of sulphur? Should I be worried by the fact that the population will treble overnight if we - oh, heavens - is that if we leave? I'm so worried about the jellyfish only being able to breed on the 14th of Octupber. And if we leave where will we find the land to build all these new hospitals? Do we have to build so many because everybody is going to die overnight if we leave? I'm so worried about the lemmings ... nurse! Nurse, cake now! Nurse? You're not a migrant are you? NURSE!

So having Nuclear weapons in compensation of having in Military Capacity, the equivalent of a "little Willy"?
What a way to approach a problem, as expressed here.


No thank you very much, the other side might have a "Bigger Willy" than we do, and more of them too!

As I write this there have been over 200 hits on the this thread but only 12 votes with a 50/50 split.

I do hope the real thing will get a better response and that we don't have voter apathy, the whole issue is just too important.

One thing I think most people would agree upon is the EU is not perfect, but I think the alternative would be much worse.
I have an uneasy feeling that it is going very close and whichever way it goes the aftermath could be unpleasant.

Certainly could be true, but strangely a narrow vote to leave could have an unexpected consequence.

Since the negotiations to leave would be protracted, quite easily extending beyond 10 years, the negotiations would bridge two or three parliaments. The compromises we'd have to make towards reaching an agreement could trigger another referendum to withdraw the intention to leave, on the basis that the cost of leaving had become too high.

I think Brexit will lead to the conservatives splitting into halves and a fresh new parliament led by Corbyn with or without the SNP. It's easy for a new goverment to say after a year of negociations that the cost of leaving had become too high.

What concerns me is a potential perfect storm, an exit vote, Boris as PM and Trump as US president:eek:

Probably the best reason i've heard yet to make me want to vote out.
