UK EU Referendum 2016 Why I'm Voting #Brexit
38After making numerous videos on the subject trying to figure out which way to vote (list below), I have finally made up my mind: I'm going to vote for Brexit. Why? In the end, despite the possible economic risks, I feel that democracy is just more important.
Immigration is also an important issue, which is a shame as I like to see and know so many diverse people, but if you have too many people of different culture in your country, your own culture will end up failing to function. Now I didn't talk about that in the video, but see Stefan Molyneux's video for more on that particular point and for the astronomical immigration figures: https://youtu.be/3hKrJVaw5mI - it is long but worth ploughing through all the stats until the end if you really want to understand just how important this issue is.
My perspective on immigration was mainly just looking at house prices, but according to Stefan there is much more at stake: European civilization, no less! I discuss Western values here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwRFjYgBDZ8
I may have forgotten to mention that the EU has deposed both Greek and Italian politicians, replacing them with technocrats 'approved' under duress by the local parliaments, and recently the Portuguese President refused to allow an anti-EU coalition to form a government. They managed to reverse this decision by outvoting the one the President selected, in the end: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11949701/AEP-Eurozone-crosses-Rubicon-as-Portugals-anti-euro-Left-banned-from-power.html

This is a must-see! It's short, about how undemocratic the EU Council procedures are, and I have verified it with the two links following:
