Why would the Government be neutral on the matter? By the process of being in Government, they govern based on their policies, and their policy is to remain in the EU. When they introduce a new piece of legislation, the introduce it with their viewpoint and benefits, not a balanced view.

It is usually the position of the Opposition to oppose the Governments viewpoint - except with the EU, the Opposition also supports staying in. As do every all but one other party in Parliament. The only ones who want out are around 44% of the Conservatives, around 3% of Labour MPs and the DUP. In fact, just under 25% of all MPs want out whilst 75% want to stay in. And of course Nigel Farage and George Galloway want out.

So overall in Parliament, the people we elect, 3/4 want to remain in the EU.
