Of course not, do not think Spain would want the fish and chip shops, Morrisons and some of those who live there.

Seeing as nobody, least of all Spain, wants that to happen it would be a very odd thing to do.

Gibraltar voted over 98% to remain Gibraltarian in 2012 if I remember right. They have their own government and the right to govern themselves. Long may they continue

I do think if there was enough members it could have its own place.

Nevertheless I am one person that either wishes the whole of the EU was just one Europe with one currency and one tax and was totally ruled by a single Government / Parliament and it was the same for all of us, whether we are rich or poor, we all had the same min wage, the same benefits everything the same no matter where you live.

I also favour countries independence so Catalonia could break from Spain, Scotland from UK.

The way it is now I don't like it, I prefer one or the other, a United Europe or no Europe and we are all independent with our own currencies taxes and Governments.

Now let me see, who voted yes? This is very difficult, I have to admit defeat, it's far to hard to work out.

There are many people who say one thing in public but another when they hide behind a cloak of anonymity, perhaps the poll should show users names

Is that so you can set the apes on them.
Democracy means that we can keep knowledge of who and how we vote a secret.
Fred I assume you are in favour of democracy.

I have no qualms about saying in public that I voted

NO!


and if someone had had the decency to ask me the same question about Hong Kong it would have been the same answer
