On June 23, Britons will vote in the EU Referendum to decide whether or not they want to leave or remain a part of the European Union.

 

Whilst we’ve heard a lot about what politicians think is both good and bad about the EU, what about the opinions of our fellow Europeans?

Their answers were both candid and often rather surprising.

Did our European neighbours feel the same way?
