If another referendum was ran again on Britain's membership of the EU would you vote the same as you did or would you vote differently?

I didn't vote the first time, no longer eligible having been out of the country for over 15 years, but I would probably have voted remain, but it would have been a close run debate in my head. If the referendum was run tomorrow, I think I would still vote remain but I also think I would have the same doubts as before!! I never believed all the crap that Farage or Boris were spouting, in fact if the leave campaign had any leaders I trusted, then that might have been enough to swing my vote!!

My anti-EU feelings are deep rooted and go way before we ever worried about immigration or globalization!! I always saw the EU are a group of countries with a common trade partnership and some freedom of movement within its borders. I never wanted to see borders disappear, anyone travelling should use a passport for me and there should at least be an attempt to stop people coming in who we simply don't need or want for a variety of reason. I don't want to see a United States of Europe, I live is that system now and there is no way that many European cultures that are so different will ever get on politically even if we do avoid conflict!! The difference between someone from California and someone from Alabama is small compared to the difference between a Brit or a German or Frenchman etc. That is not a criticism of any of those nationalities, it is something I think should be celebrated and preserved, not watered down and eventually disappear.

I think there has been a few polls on this already .The one I saw showed more people moving from remain to leave than the other way .
I would remain as leave if that makes sense .

Haven't seen any polls as such, and while there is little faith in May and the Tories to come out of this with a good deal, I don't see the stance the EU taking as being very good on the eye either. I still think it would be a close vote, the scare tactics would be out in force from both sides thats for sure, but for me I just wish the EU had come out at some point and said "Britain, we like you, we do need you and we would really like you to stay" because I think that would actually go someway to swaying some votes to remain. I never understood why the EU stayed quiet through the whole campaign, I would have preferred them to fight to retain a member, not sit on the sidelines and watch it all unfold. I understand them not wanting to be involved in internal politics but the way the EU has gone they are intrinsically involved in the politics of every member nation.
