Simple. We have tried that for 40 years and it hasn't worked. We have been outvoted around 75 times in recent years so just how would staying in change that?

We are not shutting ourselves off. The idea would be to get better trade conditions without all the red tape that goes along with it. The Germans ain't gonna stop selling us cars are they? They need the trade and the EU need what we have so it makes our negotiating power a little stronger. Having said that, other countries make cars too which gives us the advantage of going there should we not get a good deal. This applies to other trade too but at least we'd have the choice to go elsewhere, a choice we don't have now.
We're not turning our backs on Europe. Geographically, we are and will always be part of Europe. We are turning our backs on an undemocratic Super State who want one big country where we can all live happily ever after. It's a fantasy. In theory it's a good idea but then again, so was Communism in it's true form until people corrupted it. It was never meant to be a dictatorship society. Think of the word and what it actually means. The same would happen, and actually is happening with an European Super State.
