Personally I think we should leave the EU but remain in the EEA.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

That wouldn't be our choice to make. The countries we just left in the lurch with a big deficit to fill would be the countries who decide.0

If that's the scenario then it sounds like they need us more than we need them!“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -

Nothing like a good dose of scaremongering...;) The EU is nothing more than a Franco-german pact and when we are told the EU has kept the peace in Europe for decades its all froth.
How would it be in their interest to ostracize the UK?.Its a well known fact that the French and Germans practise protectionism and they need us more than we need them.Its a big wide world out there with plenty of other markets to develop.
Why would we not be able to sign free trade agreements with other countries ? and lets be honest here if the auditors have refused to sign off the accounts as being correct for the last 12 years then it proves that there is corruption on a massive scale. Hands up all those who know who their MEP is?.
We are supposedly a democracy which means Government policy is the will of the people, how can we travel the world making war and preaching democracy when we don't even have one here?.0 -
I'd like to see some (trustworthy) figures proving that the Celtic fringe costs us more than EU membership.The UK's net contribution to the EU budget fell from €4 billion in 2007 to less than €1 billion in 2008, primarily due to the country's weaker exchange rate with the euro since the financial crisis began.
http://euobserver.com/886/28706Northern Ireland receives more public money and generates less tax revenue per head than any other part of the UK.
The region was £9bn in the red, amounting to £5,052 per person, for the year 2008/09, according to figures just released by the Northern Ireland Executive.
