Yes i agree to an extent ...but... that figure is money we have to give the EU because we are in the EU ,if we leave the EU that money will no longer be given to the EU ,you are correct in that ,but what happens when the party in power decide to play politics and start dishing out tax cuts or increase spending in foreign aid or investing heavily in the NHS or any government dept thus spending and diverting that money from where it was being spent before we left the EU
