We don't need to call the shots, since joining the EU we have not once called the shots, so why would we want to if we left? Infact EVERYTIME we tried to call the shots we failed and were ignored. We could tell European company's they can't sell to the 70 million British if we wanted to. Or we could make trading very difficult for them.

We have more European workers than we have unemployed. So if all EU workers went home then the UK would have zero unemployed.
