Chancellor George Osborne has put forward a suggestion to help the young onto the housing ladder. By voting to leave the EU, he says prices will be up to 18% lower within 2 years, saving the 1st time buyer £30k on average.

sorted byVote LEAVE.
And then you have Obama. Disliked in his own country. Supporter of remain just so 'merica can profit from TTIP.
Anyone with half a brain can see the remainers are all in it for themselves.
Vote remain if you want the UK to be absorbed into a European superstate, run by a faceless, unelected dictatorship and treated with contempt for ever more. No way does or will the UK ever have a realistic input into the running of the EU.
Tosh. Clearly another multiple home owner worried about their investment portfolio.
Today's young have one chance of ever owning a home to live in, by voting to leave the EU that is it. Or, forever more they will be living under their parents roof, under curfew and watching the wallpaper grow old with them.
In leaving the EU they will gain real independence, real freedom, and real opportunity to spread their wings and develop themselves.
Why should they be punished and tied down by the failures of a previous generation?
By staying in the EU, they will also remain forever more their landlords/parents poodle.
You sound just like the parent that doesn't want to let go, or the landlord who's gravy train is reaching the end of the line.

If we leave we break that franchise which I think can only benefit your average person!
Everyone in "remain" is just fear mongering. "might" and "could" seem to be the backbone of their dictionary theres nothing good to ever been said about the EU by any of them.
They are so oblivious to the plight of the everyday person in the street struggling to buy a home and get a job at a decent wage they consider a fall in house prices a bad thing, seeing it only as a loss to their elite few with their investment opportunities.
Lets just hope and pray like all the other obscene propaganda spouted by this excuse of a government this one backfires big time and we leave this monstrosity called the EU.
Hope at last for every young person in the land, all they need do is to vote leave the EU.
So many wrong analogies I don't even know where to start.
Here's the problem. People like you clearly no longer have any pride in our country, and as you put it, we're becoming a basket case. Yet you don't do the link that it's through being in the EU we've become like that?
Every poor nation in the EU is begging us to stay, so they can continue to milk us dry. If we leave the boogey man will get us!
Young UK nationals have nothing. Nothing Nothing Nothing. Don't you get it? Nothing.
This utopian world of the EU is a rich man's dream, and a poor man's master.
A Master that is becoming more right wing, more elitist, more dictatorial, more dangerous by the day.
Nope. I'll give this thread a miss.
EU Referendum: Reaction to Government propaganda and scaremongering
I have had a lot of angry constituents, who have received the Government’s £9.3 million propaganda leaflet, contact me and last week the HM Treasury produced a 200 page document, including lengthy algebraic equations, saying why there would be a plague of frogs and Martians would invade if we vote to come of the EU. I think they are wrong and I think this a misuse of public funds, the claims are government propaganda dressed up as facts.
We know that if we vote leave there is going to be a period of uncertainty, as with any ending of a relationship, but in the Treaty of Lisbon (Article 50) there is a two year period set out during which we renegotiate our relationship with the EU. We think that we can use that negotiation to secure a much better deal for the UK, looking to trade with the rest of the world, freed from EU regulations.
HM Treasury’s document claims that by 2030 there will be a cost of £4,300 per household. Trying to forecast what is going to happen 14 years out is impossible – HM Treasury struggles to forecast what is going to have 14 weeks out – so this is entirely speculation.
The report ignores the fact the EU is a shrinking trade bloc; the EU’s share of World GDP is just 60% of what it was in 1990 and we are continuing to contract in the EU, whilst the rest of the World moves ahead.
The report does not take any notice of what the risks and uncertainty of what would happen when the 18 Eurozone countries decide the legislation of the EU, which might not be in the interest of non-euro countries, like the UK.
The report does not take account of increased uncertainty of new Eastern European nations, who have much poorer economies, entering the EU, or the prospect of Turkey joining the EU. It says nothing about the uncertainty of the immigration crisis – 1.8 million people came into the EU last year, most of them from the Middle East and North Africa. The Treasury’s report actually forecasts that there will at least another 3 million people coming from the EU to the UK alone by 2030 at a time when the Government is trying to lower immigration to the 10,000s. We know in the South East of England the pressures immigration brings to our schools, hospitals, infrastructure and public services.
All that uncertainty does not feature in the Government’s propaganda. These are dodgy forecasts and dodgy numbers.
The Government’s propaganda also takes absolutely no account of the new trade deals we could negotiate with other countries outside the EU that we can do at the moment because we are part of the EU. A prime example is India; the EU has tried for the last nine years to negotiate a trade deal with India and it has just collapsed, conversely the tiny principality of Liechtenstein just negotiated a trade deal with India and took only six months.
India is an important trading partner and it could be a much bigger trading partner for us. Outside the EU we can get out there and negotiate trade deals with India, China, Russia, Brazil, Singapore and other growing economies of the world. That would produce more wealth, more jobs and greater stability and prosperity for the UK and our families. You will not find that in the Treasury’s document.
When you look at the trade deals that the EU has negotiated with other countries, the aggregate GDP, i.e. the value of the economies the EU has struck trade deals with, amounts to $7.3 trillion.
Meanwhile, the aggregate GDP of the countries Chile alone has negotiated is $58 trillion – hugely more than what the EU has achieved.
So do not believe the scare stories. The opportunities for Britain to be free to trade with the rest of the world in our interest is enormous.
As well as all this, the Treasury’s document does not take account of the reduce costs of having no longer to comply with EU regulations on business. We have something like 3,000 regulations every year which impose extra burdens on our business. Some of them are useful and we will continue to sign up to them, but many of them are not and produce extra bureaucracy and cost to our companies, which are then passed onto the consumer. The 100 most burdensome business regulations costs UK businesses £33bn alone.
We would not have to comply with most of that.
Just think how much better off our business and out families could be.
So this figure of £4,300 is completely nonsense and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
I have had a lot of complaints that the referendum campaign so far has been too much based on negative scare stories and ‘Project Fear’. I am afraid the two pretty pitiful documents from the Government and the Treasury just confirm that.
So let’s vote leave on the 23 June for a fresh start and brighter future in the rest of the world, where 6.9 billion people live.

Please leave, you're spamming now.
Problem you have is that even the remain voters on here don't agree with you. Clear you've been brainwashed by your own opinion.
Well if a EU subsidised BMW is that important to you you should probably vote in. I'm happy buying UK cars or cars from none EU countries.
Look at a label on a random item and 97% of the time it's "Made in China", Ok certain items might increase in price and import duties may or may not need to be paid, They haven't got a trade agreement yet which is negotiable should we leave and also we'll have more freedom to negotiate trade agreements with other Countries. Lot's of things may actually go down in price but regardless if leaving makes us safer then any price increase is worth it.!.
If it's too expensive to import, Make it.!, About time we became a little more self sufficient anyway, We depend too much on foreign lands.!.

And, you think being in the EU will make us richer? Your next generation will be begging or basking like those Albanian and Romanian beggars on streets.
How many companies keep closing down every quarter ? How many high street shops lay abandoned? How many British people are made redundant just because labour is cheaper in Europe and companies relocate parts of their operations ?

I got them from a reliable source of poll of polls, which you can then break down into finite detail.
Having said that, I believe all polls to be inaccurate, with a far greater leave vote expected than is currently being recorded.
*** Establishment wants to maintain status quo ***
In a shock announcememt, the UK establishment categorically stated that they wished to maintain the status quo in order that the rich might continue to get richer while the poor sadly got poorer. No spokesman was available for comment.
Please sir! I want to pay more for that!

I think Holland has desires to leave too. I also believe that the EU major players are concerned that Brexit could turn into the catalyst for the collapse of the EU. It's been said that for France to financially prop up the EU would turn it into a PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain). There are only 2 countries holding the entity together, Germany and UK
Cameron likes PIGS.
Completely wrong as per usual.
You really are rather dim
We give China £27million a year and from this year we give India £0.00.

Primarily Osborne's prediction of a fall in house prices if we left the EU.
Shaun opts for manc tactics 'who's the brainy one?' . . .
Wrong wrong and wrong again.
Clearly high house price are related to being in the EU, even the Chancellor admits to that.
The EU forces high tariffs on countries outside the EU, therefore many prices will actually fall when we renegotiate those deals.
Th e EU imposes tariffs when it suits them, but ignores the damage to the British Steel Industry when it doesn't. We can do our own deals best suited to our own economy.
The National Living Wage was not introduced by the EU, nor was the National Minimum Wage.
The EU are not some Knight in shinning armour protecting the poor, why are wages so low in Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia? This insistence that workers will suffer in leaving the EU is total nonsense.
i love this country and I am very proud to be English .. in all the countries I have visited this is the greatest country on earth I am a Englishman through and through , but the fact is we are a island in the north Atlantic .. steeped in a manufacturing / farming history and to come out of the biggest market in the world is just plain dumb!!! and giving the next generation nothing but long hours , no human rights.. and very very low pay...

Where is this utopia you say we have through being in the EU?
They say if you put a frog in a pan of boiling water it will jump out. However, put it in a pan of cold water and then slowly bring it to the boil it will die. Feeling warm yet..?
