Yes and I am just arguing for the other side of the argument. Europe obviously has it's bad points and there are more than enough people telling us what they are. There is little discussion of the good points and that's what I am banging on about.
There'd probably be more discussion of the good points if the Eurocrats hadn't shown themselves to be so utterly intransigent and totally dismissive of anyone not sharing their views.

There are clearly pros and cons to being in the EU and I think most people would try to weigh those up before deciding how to vote. IMHO if the EU listened more and dictated less we'd all be a lot happier.
