Either way it is a TRUE reflection of what we have had to pay in the past, what they want us to pay, and what we would have to pay in the near future if we stayed.
IE if just one EU country disagrees with the rebate, then no rebate at all.

Your reply gives the impression that the UK rebate can be taken away without our say so. You forgot the minor point that the UK has a veto over the process that would scrap or reduce it. The EU leaders are required to approve the MFF unanimously.
