This subject has specific relevance to Northern Ireland. The only part of the UK with a border to another EU member.

The financial benefits to NI currently (with farming subsidies and Peace funding) outweigh what we put into the EU, but - funding is due to end in 2020 and the farming subsidies would then be less than our input.

The border aspect, however, could have far greater implications - currently there is no restriction (unlike the past 'troubled' period(s) ) - check-points could once again be in place. Trade across the border with Sterling vs Euro exchange rates (advantageous to both) may prove an issue.

Politically there could be greater implications - cross-border bodies, a United Ireland - the bigger picture on both viewpoints could be immense.

Diametrically opposed political parties in NI are already making their standpoints known - but will they actually come out and state their reasoning?

This could have a major impact here than any other part of the UK. A big decision for all.

Our share of the UK contribution is around £600million. We get back around £450 million.

To be quite honest, politics is not my thing. Will my wages go up and shoes be cheaper if I vote no? That's all I care about.

Then, regarding shoes, do VOTE - in the Dr Martens Poll Section.

The overall Votes so far, are interesting.

I despair about where to find good information to base my decision on. Any advice?

It will be suicidal to leave....

I've always rolled my eyes and said we should never have joined the EU...it's too late to back pedal now...Cameron is trying to find a compromise here folks....

What to do eh!
