[Osem]

When all a campaign (stay in) pretty much has is scaremongering (we'll lose millions of jobs and the Germans will stop selling us their cars blah, blah, blah...) as a means to achieve its ambitions then I'd say they don't have much of a case. The union of nations has proved to be anything but. Decisions made in and forced through by Germany have caused huge problems in other countries. Add to the above the endless bickering, intransigence, and dithering which is endemic in the EU even in times of emergency and you have the best possible case for getting out. We must get out. I wish it was different but it will never be different. The Eurocrats could drive us all over a social and economic precipice and they'd still claim everyone else was wrong. I used to think their fixation was just naïve and they'd see the error of their ways but they won't and that's highly dangerous. If we don't agree an amicable and orderly separation we're going to see a hugely acrimonious and correspondingly expensive divorce with all the inevitable recriminations. I'd rather we were as detached from that as possible frankly and the more time we have to adapt and look outwards the better.
