To be honest most of those 28 get more than they put in so of course they'd stay in.
And we don't too bad. Give said we are the fifth biggest economy in the world and our trade balance with EU Countries would be better if we had a stronger economic base. Instead, our focus has largely been on expanding Service Sectors.
Sometimes we've not been smart enough in accessing EU regional development funding. The Scousers have coined it in with the redevelopment of their docks etc.
Eh? Costs us 10 billion quid a year and rising to be told what we can and can't do, and we have a massive trade deficit with the EU.And we don't too bad.

There is also plenty of research to suggest that we are net positive with the EU. CBI did one not too long ago, I believe.
Though I do admit these types of cost-benefits analysis are relatively hard to measure, so have a little sympathy with those who cast a weary eye over such reports.
I expect the next few months to be a beauty parade as both sides try to tempt the biggest slice of the electorate, i.e., those that have lost interest in politics, the millions that live in "safe" seat areas, where their vote is meaningless.
A parade of popstars to sway the younger ones, Michael Parkinson and the like to lure the grannies and granddad's, Ids
Redwood, Gove et all for the daily mail lot, Cameron (for reasons I cannot fathom ) leading the inners.
The mail express telegraph will have more and more lurid headlines, they are after all the voice of their owners who have waged war on the EU since it's inception. The trouble is, it works as Murdoch so clearly demonstrated many times.
Debate on a forum is time wasted, both sides are already committed and will not be swayed. The apolitical types would not even give a second glance to something that had no connection to big brother or music or Facebook.
I was agnostic regarding the pros and cons, until IDS threw his weight on the side of the outers. I have learned that what he wants is guaranteed to be bad for me and a great slice of the population ( the old, the infirm, the unemployed, NHS users, those on benefits, doctors nurses firemen children etc) so I know which way I will vote.
