This whole "we will lose trade if we leave the EU" is and always has been a complete false argument and only hands ammunition to those of us who want out. Whilst i don't claim the tiny tiny minority of people i know on the net from the euro mainland are the majority view i have noticed a change of attitude amongst them towards the EU in the last couple of years.

Some of them used to be so enthusiastic about the EU it bordered on fanatacism at times and while they still favour it they are nowhere near as vocal as they once were. Others are out and out hostile now towards the EU and the euro as a single currency and say they want out as they only see further and greater problems down the line.

Whilst as usual the federal europe idea is great on paper it just isn't working in reality, despite the claims it doesn't level the playing field amongst member states. It doesn't help our economy's in someways i am certain it actually harms them. All these things need to be properly debated and discussed by all citizens in europe not just us and a consensus needs to be reached.

Here is the problem though given how many failed and past it politicians manage to find a new trough in the EU it isn't likely for the turkeys to give us the right to bring xmas forward anytime soon. Thats the crux for me the EU exists not for us normal citizens not really to benefit us but to benefit the political classes and allow them to keep jobs their own electorate decided they no longer deserved after getting kicked out in their own country.
