A 1950's solution to a 1920's problem, completely irrelevant to the modern globalised economy. Cameron's renegotiation was farcical which is why it's formed no part of the subsequent campaign to Remain. The U.K. can and will do far better as an independent country living under its own laws, made by politicians directly accountable to and sackable by the electorate. <br /><br />We can leave now, in good time & good order, or when the whole rotten edifice collapses during the next global recession as it finally kills the € and with it the EU itself. A controlled exit from the EU using the next 5 yrs to diversify our global trading relations will make UK more resilient when that next big debt fuelled recession hits.<br /><br />The EU is designed to keep the electorate as far away from the levers of power as possible, a solution to a strain of political extremism that has never afflicted the UK. Yes it may be a little bumpy for a couple of years but the long term gain makes it more than worthwhile.<br /><br />We should leave with all haste and never look back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368053937631641478.post-86617248938826777042016-06-20T10:42:07.339+04:002016-06-20T10:42:07.339+04:00TTIP.
