Do you want to be ruled by Brussels as part of a European Super State?

If one existed, I would need to know more about it. However, at present, the system works pretty well

Do you think the money we send to the EU could be better spent in the UK?

No, I think the value for money we get from being in the EU is worth the 1% we spend on it. Thinking in purely cash terms is misleading, the value of customs union alone is worth it

Do you want your Justice System back?

Not quite sure what we have lost here? We have a justice system that seems to work pretty well. There are of course EU courts which rule of EU legislation.

Do you want to control Immigration more?

I would restrict immigration to allow people to work but that's in place already

Do you believe the Government, IMF, BoE and all those who predict doom and gloom?

More than Boris and the bloke that runs Wetherspoons

Do you think your lifestyle will improve if we leave the EU because of the money we'll save?

No, costs will increase and the value of the pound will drop

Do you believe the EU is a Democracy?

Very much so, more democratic than the UK, having proportional representation and no house of lords

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

Yes, no trade tariffs and freedom of movement benefit the UK massively

Do you think more powers will be taken by Brussels if we stay in the EU?

Only if the UK government allow it to happen

Do you think jobs will be lost if we leave the EU?

Yes

Do you believe those who say we would become a Banana Republic?

No, but we would be financially poorer and our reputation globally would be seriously dented. The only world leader who wants us to leave is Vladimir Putin, every other nation thinks we should stay

Do you believe in British Sovereignty?

Yes, but we live in a global society. We have had treaties and agreements long before the EU. If you really want complete sovereignty, we would also need to leave the IMF, WTO, United Nations, etc. Basically, become North Korea.

Do you think the EU will reform if we remain?

Yes, I think this will be a catalyst for change

Do you think they really care about the UK or is it that they need our trade?

These can't be taken in isolation. We share a lot of values with our European neighbours and these are invaluable, especially when it comes to trade

Answered like a true Pro-European. Well Done. Tell me to the Remainers have a script they stick to cos you sound just like Cameron. Or could it be the leaflet the Government spent £9m. on, which btw I never got and I need something to start a bonfire in the garden, brainwashing you. You are all singing from the same Hymn sheet. Can't you at least give us your reasons for remaining instead of being a parrot?
