OK so if we disregard everything on both sides that's only supposition regarding 'what will happen if...' we're still left with the undeniable facts of the last 40 years. 40 years of seeing how the EU works, how it responds, how it copes in a crisis and what's its long term intentions and objectives are. Take a long hard look at what they've done, where the EU is right now and where it's heading. Is an epiphany amongst the Eurocrats ahead or will it be more of the same chaos? IMHO these are the fundamental factors involved in the decision. Does the UK tether itself to this or do we do the opposite of what people like Nicky Morgan suggest and open ourselves up to the world.

Some of us have lived through what we were told the EU (EEC) would be and discovered what it was always intended to become, albeit without our knowledge at the time. Anyone who wants to remain within the EU either needs to believe it's a good thing regardless of the widespread chaos we're witnessing or that it will change for the better at some future point when all the evidence of history and previous attempts at reform suggests I won't. Could life outside a floundering, bloated, EU be that bad? It really is as simple as that isn't it?

For me that's enough.
