Those seeking unquestionable 'facts' and 'numbers' to support their decision are going to have a long wait. I'm basing mine on my experience of the last few decades of our membership and what we see unfolding before our eyes. If you want more of the same vote for it, it you don't, don't.

As for Germany's influence over the EU, some folks still doubt it but IMHO it's patently obvious who's actually running the show in Europe and, if they happen to conflict with Germany's, the UK's interests will always be kicked into the long grass if we stay in. If Merkel wants to have her cake and eat it, the least we can do is stop subsidising it.
