Hi

So the referendum is getting closer,I have not seen much debate from ether side regarding motor trade / vehicle industry.

Clearly there are the main topics e.g. immigration, economy etc, but would be interesting to see what views/thoughts are within the trade, about the trade implications.

The EU has done a lot to shape the motor industry over the last few decades, so worth some debate I feel.

I'm staying, I don't trust anyone on either side of the debate. We could have stopped refugees from outside of Europe at any time & we didn't.

If we leave nothing will change, we'll just be ruled by a bigger bunch of pocket lining swindlers with no regulatory authority around to stop them in their tracks.

The EU has done a lot for the independent workshop.

The tossers who used to run & subsequently ruined the British car industry were interested in only one thing, themselves.

It's all been pre decided anyway, your votes are immaterial.

Regards,
Paranoid Jon.

i will probably be out, because i hate being dictated to by people in another country (jobs for the boys!) about things like adopting (dumbing down) our MoT test etc.

but really i'd rather stay in because the principle is good, but we lack successive governments with ball big enough balls to stand up to the other members & say "we're not doing that & if you fine us we won't be paying that either as it's not in the best interests of the UK"

it's all as clear as mud as usual!

Hi

I say Goodbye Herr Adolf Merkel.

Remember when big Dave said we will not pay this unreasonable demand a couple of years ago ? Well after the fuss died down, he pulled our cheque book out and payed a bill he said he wouldn't with our money too keep the Nazi quiet.

As you probably guessed I am OUT.

Regards

Pete

It's probably easier to choose between Iran and Iraq.

So now we have voted out, which was how I voted, although still shocked at the result, what are peoples feelings, happy, sad, worried, or optimistic? How's it going to effect the Motor Industry?

It's probably the best result, but perhaps obtained for the wrong reasons.
I'm pleased that we are out of a political system which has eroded the independence of the member states, has in place market restrictions which no longer reflect the global nature of trade and has too many unelected officials.
I'm not happy about the rise in racist attitudes, overt and otherwise, which do nothing but harm to our country.

Hi

Sad that decision has been made by an older generation when younger who will live with the result, clearly wanted to remain.

I voted remain, partly because all of my children where very clear that they wanted to remain in EU.

Happy to accept result, but agree with Tom not sure result was obtained for correct reasons.

disappointed with campaign form Both side, no reliable information for folks to base a sensible decision on.

Boris seams to been very quite, sadly nigel not so !

Pleased with the result and time will show that the right decision has been reached. Now we have full control of our economy and our borders. We also have our sovereignty back.

I voted against the Common Market as it was then because I knew what it would lead to. I do not like our country being run by unelected bureaucrats and having to subsidize poorer nations.

How it was thought that a multitude of countries with diverse cultures and economies can come together as one is beyond me. The proposed addition of Turkey a mainly Asian country to the EU is a joke. I believe we are seeing the beginning of the end of the EU, especially now that other members are clambering for a referendum.

I believe the younger generation will thank us oldies in making the correct decision.

I think long term it could be good for the country if and only if the UK has the right people in place to do the deals with other nations we were blocked to trade with the EU ball & chain. I hope the politicians are starting to knock on doors right now to get deals flowing once we are out.My worry is the UK is being targeted like the bad boy in class who is going to be made an example off. Germany is already saying if the UK wants to trade with EU then they will have to accept free movement of people which is partly the reason for the vote to leave when you hear what people are saying. I hope someone will have enough balls to stand up to them, after all Germany stands to lose trade if no deal is done that the EU want.
The big question is how will if effect us with the block exemption & R2R etc?

The Young are banging on about how the old have robbed them of their future and their chance to work all over the EU !!!!
FACT. the number of 18-24 age group that didnt bother to get up of their arses and vote is greater than those that voted leave AND remain totaled together.
