My answer is b)
I have a feeling we'll be reminded of it endlessly and made to pay for daring to rock the boat and want something better.

Well we'll have less influence in the EU if we leave, no right to veto, no ability to vote for EU regulations. More influence on our own laws depending exactly what trade deals we have (despite what Brexiters say, trade deals can demand national laws be passed). World wide I am not sure how we would have more influence.

Wasn't it the Tories who signed us up and Thatcher who was in charge when it expanded?
