Are those wanting us to remain in the EU betraying the country?
it looks like those who want us to remain in the EU are those who possibly would be fine with the UK ceasing to exist as a country and becoming just another member of a bigger federal state.
If this is the case, are these people betraying the country or are they forward thinkers who believe that the UK alone is just a small fish in a big pond.

Phew... thank goodness the Brexiters don;t do Project Fear.
I wonder if the same people who are demanding "freedom and sovereignty" are the same ones who think the the UK shouldn't get involved in overseas military action without the approval of the UN?
If we have full sovereignty then why should we need the permission from the UN for anything?
A lot of them are the same people do not want the UK exercise it's "sovereignty" over a bunch of UK Territory Tax Havens to get them in line either ;-)
This is OTT emotional talk. There is no great hunger for a Federal state amongst the 27 nations of the EU & they'd all have to agree to it for it to go ahead.
Emotive nonsense.
Brexit should put this on posters all over the country.
Closer ties, everyone getting tax codes, more integration on tax, EU army in the works, EU making international decisions where the UK used to be involved.
Yep, nothing to fear here.
Only if they want to weaken their case!
That was the general idea jj!
There's an excellent article by Matthew Paris (who's committed to stay in the EU) giving valid reasons why how he thinks the LEAVE campaign might be able to turn things around.
He suggests that by not having the courage to vote for BREXIT, the people are demonstrating their lack of self-belief and opting for risk-averse safe-play.
He cites Christopher Columbus, Francis Drake, Captain Cook, Emmiline Pankhurst and Margaret Thatcher as people who'd taken risks against all odds only to have won the prize they had their set their sights on and believed in.

It takes a special person to either fight for their country or to betray their country, two sides/same coin.
Or we could all grow up and leave the petty name calling out of it.
Just because someone else said something daft should not be the green light for playground behaviour.
Assuming you believe the answer to be "yes" what do you intend to do, as you 'patriotic duty'?
Shoot us?
during the run up to the scottish indyref there were a few of the more extreme nationalists accusing anyone who would vote against independence of being a traitor and one who said they should all be hanged
wouldn't that be the brexit crowd then as they are the ones voting against the official position of her majesty's government ;-)
Something undemocratic presumably?
Although our current monarch doesn't have any sovereign powers to be undermined.
Marry them kill them and eat them?:D
How dare any of you question my patriotism based on whether I support the UK's place in the EU. Disgusting and despicable behaviour.
