Where does the idea that the Commission is unelected come from? It is elected by the European Parliament which we elect.

Er, in 1939 we weren't exactly alone, we had Australia, Canada, NZ, India etc with us.

Honestly, I don't know.
On the one hand it does seem that rules/laws are being imposed on us without our consent by an unelected European Commisson.

On the other hand, we do have favourable trade ties with the EU. The USA would prefer us to remain in as it gives them a toe-hold via our UK/US relationship. Would they still be interested if we were 'out'?

Deep sigh....

Its also OUT for me too

This country are paying far to much out
While the sick disabled and old live on the bread line
or are been persecuted by the DWP

In order to save money on spending in this country :-( :-(

It's out for me, I voted out last time but the let's not change anything squad won.

Had the vote been to join back then the outcome would probably have been stay out.

I think the same will happen again, fear of standing alone on our own two feet will keep us in. We seem to have stood on our own two feet in the past OK why not again. In fact back in 1939 it was that which saved Europe!

I was made redundant and having been in the same job for 30 years that was daunting, best thing that could have happened went self employed and never looked back! :-D

UK and the EU: Better off out or in?

It's a tough one, we really need honesty and unbiased information from the powers that be to make an informed choice.................not going to happen though is it :-(

been thinking about this and at the moment I'm thinking I want out
