It would be interesting to have an investor demographic, so to kick this off; Brexit, In or Out?

In my humble opinion I don't think it'll have too much of a effect on the types of investments we have around here. At least in the short term. My reasoning is that we have a housing shortage and this will continue regardless of this vote. (you can also say the same for cemeteries :-) So developments will continue. In the longer term, who knows - we'll have to cross that bridge when when get to it.
Possibly more of immediate impact might be the effect on the FTSE. Will anyone with a substantial investments in stock and shares pull out temporarily and hold their sums in p2p sites until things settle down?
P.S. Brexit or not? Difficult decision. If only both sides would stop peddling BS and talk to us electorate like grown ups.

There are two uncomfortable truths:
1) Nobody knows what will happen if we stay or we leave
2) Whichever way we vote the chances are that we will never know if we made the right decision. The only way in which we might is if (regardless of the result) the EU at some point breaks up in Yugoslav type acrimony.

/Mod hat on
Just a reminder that the last thread on this subject degenerated into a racist rant, with much name calling, so this one is in danger of getting swiftly banished if there is any sign of the same thing happening. Personally I don't have any problem with a simply poll unless/until people start explaining why the other side are clearly deluded idiots, commies, fascists, or whatever. Other mods and admins may decide we need to take a harder line.
And no, I have no idea why it should be on the SS forum. 8>.

And no, I have no idea why it should be on the SS forum. 8>. Absolutely agree! This is simply an opinion poll. As I said, this is part of several entirely innocent polls I would like to do in order to have some understanding of the Saving Stream investors demographic. Completely uncontroversial (I thought).

Since every other day, a poll is started in regards to the EU referendum, but there seems to be a couple that gets carried away and gets the thread lock, why not reinstate my original poll, but make it so that us users can vote on the poll but not comment? It will at least stop the start EU Poll thread, mod delete's, user complains, start EU Poll thread cycle...

I think that the UK's exit will trigger what I suspect is beginning to gain momentum in some European countries, and the EU may well be in danger of disintegrating in some way in the next five years.

I think the EU is doomed whether we stay or go. There is a rise In right wing, anti EU and anti austerity sentiment, right across Europe.

I'd usually add an image of Private Fraser rolling his eyes there, but the situation developing in Europe isn't actually very funny.

At least the run up to referendum has given us a respite from EU debt crisis news every other week. I wonder if a future P2P pipeline loan will be for an Eastern Mediterranian Country......would make the hand carwash loan look really attractive  |

Obama's point was clear, with no malice or preference, first thing usa does if gb leave is renegotiate its trade agreement with eu, in all probability our usa and euro market share divvied up amongst the chortling usa euro trade representatives. and for us brits see greece. its not paranoia. work through it in your head. gb leaves worlds 2nd largest trade zone against the advice of the largest trade zone and the 2nd largest trade zone. first thing largest trade zone does is renegotiate trade agreement with second largest trade zone. obama said it could take 10 - 20 who knows maybe 30 years to square things up with us. Merkel has intimated the same. us leaving may turn sentiment against us.

Very difficult decision. Economically I say in but because of the unelected law makers I say out. Overall my vote is in.

If we do vote for Brexit and property values reduce then it impacts on our lending.
