They tell us we have to take their Citizens but we don't always have the room for them. We'd be in a better position to help the Syrian refugees outside the EU because we can cut back on the amount of EU Citizens we allow in.
Our NHS would benefit greatly from the money we save by not being in the EU.
Our economy is the 5th largest and can cope with trading with the emerging economies as well as the US and the EU.
It's probably the unknown people are afraid of but who said life was easy? Sure there may be some hiccups but they are not going to be as bad as Cameron said yesterday. One of the big 4 banks, according to someone I was talking to the other day online, said his boss doesn't think things will be that bad and they have no plans to relocate in the event of a Brexit.
Thanks for the Welcome

I don't know anyone who's looking at this issue on the basis that Out will result in Nirvana. Most folks I talk to cite fundamental issues like sovereignty, immigration, ever closer union, expansionism, interference in our laws and flawed economic policy as the reasons they want out and I agree. Being wedded to the EU is like being stuck with an unreasonable and irrational partner - frankly we'd be far better off suffering the pain of gwhat might be a messy divorce, moving on and learning from the mistake.
