A number of reasons. To put it simply, the EU is a sinking ship. Turkey joining in a few years is bound to spark up more referendums across Europe, with the likes of France, Germany and Italy. Immigration in general is a problem for us because it's uncontrolled. Once we get our borders back we can decide what quantity comes in, reducing the poorer quality of life that can currently be seen in parts of the UK. We also now have the ability to trade with the commonwealth countries. Canada, for example, couldn't trade with us because the EU wouldn't allow it.
Oh, and guess what? We'll now be a self-governing nation. No more un-elected bureaucrats telling us what to do. Democracy lives on.

Turkey isnt joining while its still unstable. Turkey is not forecasted to join within the next 2 decades, after which time it is likely to be somewhat stable anyway, so thats not a real argument. Particularly as staying in the EU is a reversible decision where as leaving is not.
The only people pushing for a referendum in France are their equivalent of the BNP, a successful referendum will not happen there anytime soon. Also wtf, "Germany" Germany are definitely not about to leave the EU at all
We also already had the ability to trade with commonwealth countries. We were trading with Canada already.
MEPs are not unelected. We were already a self-governing nation. The EU is a democratically run system, Im not sure you know what youve voted on mate.

You're right that it isn't happening anytime soon, however, the mere possibility that it will join is a good enough reason to vote leave. And I'm sorry, you're predicting that Turkey will be a completely different country in 20 years? Slippery slope.

The party is irrelevant, as far as the people are concerned. UKIP literally lead the leave campaign for us, gaining voters from both the labour and tory camps.

We don't have a free-trade agreement with Canada because the EU is in dispute about VISAs for Romanians wanting to visit Canada. We don't have a free-trade agreement with Australia either.
You can say many things, but don't even suggest that we're in the best position for trade right now. We're not allowed to make our own agreements because of miscellaneous disputes. That is not right.

There is absolutely nothing democratic about the EU. When the commission issues a regulation, all member states are immediately under force of law. For it to be democratic there would have to be discussions in parliament, but there are none. You don't argue with it, you just accept it.
I'm glad chums like you didn't have your way. We now have a chance of being a democracy again.

I voted stay. Everyone thinks leaving the EU will help against the immigration crisis by making it harder to come to Britain. In actual fact it won't. Nothing will stop the immigration completely. They also voted to leave so they may have 'More Control'.....Only at the cost of increased house prices, increased mortgages, decrease in currency value to the lowest since records began, increased holiday prices, David Cameron resigning and the rapid rise in UKIP's endorsement.
