Whether or not the EU is a good or bad thing for the common man, what do you yourself think or believe? What does your gut instinct say to the following questions?

Do you want to be ruled by Brussels as part of a European Super State? PREFERABLE TO BEING RUN BY BORIS FROM DOWNING ST.

Do you think the money we send to the EU could be better spent in the UK? IT WOULD BE SPENT ON TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH IF WE LEFT THE EU. THE POOR WOULD HAVE LESS PROTECTION AND WORKERS LESS RIGHTS.

Do you want your Justice System back? I WASN'T AWARE IT WENT ANYWHERE.

Do you want to control Immigration more? I WOULDN'T HAVE CONTROL OVER IMMIGRATION EITHER WAY ( AND THE ECONOMY AND HEALTH SERVICE IS DEPENDENT ON IMMIGRATION).


Do you believe the Government, IMF, BoE and all those who predict doom and gloom? THEY PROBABLY EXAGERRATE, BUT TOO MANY PEOPLE FROM USUALLY OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS HAVE COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. LEAVING THE EU WOULD BE MADNESS.

Do you think your lifestyle will improve if we leave the EU because of the money we'll save? NO, FOR MOST IT WILL BE VERY MUCH WORSE.

Do you believe the EU is a Democracy? YES, THERE ARE EU ELECTIONS.

Do you seriously believe the UK benefits from being a Member of the EU better than it did in 1975? ABOUT THE SAME PROBABLY.

Do you think more powers will be taken by Brussels if we stay in the EU? NOT IF WE DON'T AGREE.

Do you think jobs will be lost if we leave the EU? YES LOTS OF THEM.

Do you believe those who say we would become a Banana Republic? WELL, NIGEL FARAGE - A BANANA BY ANYONES STANDARDS... HE AND IS TYPE ARE THE FUTURE IF WE VOTE OUT.

Do you believe in British Sovereignty? YES, AND WE STILL HAVE IT WITH EU MEMBERSHIP.

Do you think the EU will reform if we remain? PROBABLY NOT, BUT SO WHAT? IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND ON BALANCE WE BENEFIT.

Do you think they really care about the UK or is it that they need our trade? WELL THEY NEED US AND WE NEED THEM.

Hopefully this will help make up your minds. I can think of lots more questions and I'm sure you all can too.
Tried to answer as honestly as I can Brian, and yes it has made up my mind.
