Yes, it will be nice to get back to the cheaper days when the Foreign Secretaries of countries would get together to develop trade links and trade deals without requiring a mass of MEPs to be involved in the process.

Imagine the savings of not having to pay the salaries, expenses, allowances and pensions of MEPs and their associated entourages.

We should also save by not having to pay VAT like America and others outside the EU.

Just hope that enough of the "don't knows" decide to vote to leave the EU if only to prove to David Cameron that he got it wrong.
