I would not worry about that one , if you don't get your way you just keep having a referendum until you do , so say the SNP.

It will be a dark day indeed if the UK leaves the EU , i hope it does not happen, we rely on europe for so many things , it would be super expensive for anyone who does trade or works in europe and we would no longer have europe to hold the leash of the more bat shit crazy stuff the government wants to do ( great firewall of the UK anyone ?).
The EU is great , the art organisation i work for
http://www.fact.co.uk/ ( shameless plug , give us money please!) would no longer exist in its current form without EU funding, loads of people who work here are from europe , loads of the artists and researchers we work with are from europe, we would simply not have the money to do that kind of work without the freedom being part of the EU brings, even without the money they provide.
The daily mail reading Out people will say , " oh but we give x to the EU and only get y back" , fine whatever , but what would the UK government do with that money if it did not go to the EU ? Spend it in the areas that the former EU funding was going ? Hahah , oh shit your serious let me laugh even louder HAHAHAHA! , No they would use it to ether give london a shit load more money or keep it in the bank and not spend it.
leave , would the EU have you back ?
