The KEY points of Cameron's EU deal are up for debate.
An "emergency brake" on migrants' in-work benefits for four years when there are "exceptional" levels of migration. The UK will be able to operate the brake for seven years
Child benefit for the children of EU migrants living overseas will now be paid at a rate based on the cost of living in their home country - applicable immediately for new arrivals and from 2020 for the 34,000 existing claimants
The amending of EU treaties to state explicitly that references to the requirement to seek ever-closer union "do not apply to the United Kingdom", meaning Britain "can never be forced into political integration"
The ability for the UK to enact "an emergency safeguard" to protect the City of London, to stop UK firms being forced to relocate into Europe and to ensure British businesses do not face "discrimination" for being outside the eurozone

I am with NigelUKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "This is a truly pathetic deal. Let's Leave the EU, control our borders, run our own country and stop handing £55m every day to Brussels. I believe in Britain. We are good enough to be an independent, self-governing nation outside of the EU. This is our golden opportunity."

I understand from previous discussions I heard it will cost so much to administer the new ruling, no savings will be made.

So any deal would have had to be exceptional to convince me to stay in.

Re: The KEY points of Cameron's EU deal are up for debate.
The "deal" is a complete joke and any of these "agreements", even if they amounted to anything substantial could apparently be dismissed by the European Parliament after Yes vote anyway, completely Pathetic...As they would say on Dragon's Den, "I'm out"

Re: The KEY points of Cameron's EU deal are up for debate.
I am struggling to decide. My heart says that I want us to control our own country and it annoys me when a group of people in Europe have any say on whether pasties can be called Cornish pasties...or any other sort of food names. If they have nothing better to do, what a waste of time!My head is saying that we may suffer financially, if we leave, but I cannot be sure so I feel that it is more like putting your money on a roulette table, on red or black, and hoping you have made the right decision.
I have always enjoyed a gamble so, at the moment, I suspect I will be voting to leave..... but we will need to have stronger politicians who are more concerned about their country than holding on to their jobs, and I am not sure we have any at the moment!
