Time to face a few truths.
Claim ; "We are better staying in because we can influence things"
Fact ; In the last twenty years the UK has opposed a measure in the "Council of ministers" on seventy two occasions, on every single one we were outvoted.
Claim ; We are still a sovereign state.
Fact ; Over sixty percent of UK laws are now made or derived from the EU, if a country does not make its own law or control its own borders it is not sovereign.
Claim ; We have a veto to ensure no important new policy can be decided in Brussels.
Fact ; In 1975 the same claim was made by the "Inners", they put out a leaflet "Will parliament lose its power?", then answered its own question with "No...No important new policy can be decided without the consent of a British minister answerable to a British parliament", So the EU changed the way it voted with the 1988 Single European act, making it "Qualified majority voting" by which these matters are settled.
Claim ; The EU is better for employment.
Fact ; The EU does not create jobs,as a matter of fact it adds a layer of cost to every single sale or purchase, its more true to say it undermines pay and working conditions by the free movement of cheap labor, ask yourself, have your living standards gone up when you can not get a school place for your kid, a GP appointment or Hospital bed, a house from the council ?, does it make any sense to import unskilled labor when there are millions on the dole...And its your taxes thats paying the dole money ?.
When you buy something its because you need it or want it, if the price is what you want to pay and the quality is right you will buy it, international trade works the same way, so forget this nonsense that a trade war will erupt if we leave, the EU sell us more than we sell them is a fact.
Vote out, get us the hell away from this corrupt bunch of thieves.
