That I must agree with but immigration is foremost on peoples minds and it is being used as a lever by Brexit. Don't forget whichever side has to appeal to the masses if they wish to win and play on their fears.
I'm all for Brexit but not just on the issue of immigration. I'm a firm believer that it is the people of this country who should decide their own future without interference from Europe via their own elected government.
Yes- we have elected MEP's but they are a minority in the EU parliament and always will be they may be able to speak for Britain but can and do get overruled and outvoted by the other 27 countries unless they do backdoor deals with other nation states to get their backing.
This backdoor dealing may be giving away more of our sovreign rights but we will never know as it's all done behind closed doors. "Back me on this, I'll back you on that." I'd rather have Arthur Daley doing the deals thankyou. At least I knew he was a shady geezer.
