I WONDER how many people like me who have yet to make up their mind which way to vote in the European referendum are becoming more and more frustrated by the arguments put forward by both sides in the debate.

Both present and sometimes misrepresent the facts to suit their own argument.

The In campaign tell us that to leave will cost each family more than £4,000, suggesting that it will be cash taken out of our pockets, which it won’t.

The Leave campaign try and make out that the only way we can be sure of not joining the eurozone is to come out, which may be correct, but in fact even if we stay in, we will not have to join the eurozone against our will.

Much is made about the effect the EU has upon human rights but ignores the fact that it is the European Commission on Human Rights, not the EU, that is responsible for controversial human rights decisions affecting the UK. Even if we leave the EU we will still be subject to that.

There is debate about what trade agreements we could negotiate if we leave but as far as I can see, it is all speculation on both sides.

No-one really knows.

So could anyone tell me how I can make up my mind which way to vote?
