I am going to explore why the EU Referendum is so divisive - even if we do vote to remain in the EU, it will be by a small margin; so why can't we make up our minds then? Quite simply, there are winners and losers when it comes to being in the EU and on balance, there are more winners than losers but only just, that's why the country is so split on the issue. After all, our relationship with the EU is a complex one and I am just looking at it from one angle - Brits are mostly monolingual but English is spoken as a second/foreign language throughout the EU: what is the result of this imbalance then? Oh and if you are offended by this video - then guess what? I have succeeded. This video was meant to offend. Thank you! Vote whichever way you want. There's no point in me (or any of the politicians) telling you how to vote as self-interest is going to determine your choice at the end of the day.
