Stay, through gritted teeth

Better the devil you know

(And they will really, really shaft us on any exit in order to deter anyone else.)

Most people I work with are Remain. Our parents are natural outers but have been told they will not see the grandkids again if they even think about f**king up their future prosperity by voting out.

Because at the end of the day this decision isn't going to massively affect you or me, but it will have a huge impact on the future prospects of our kids.
