I for one would rather be inside and influencing, than outside and waving impotently.

Pragmatically I know we will leave the EU, I am just bewildered by how angry some leave supporters still seem to be.

You still don't get it. Our influence on important matters such as the CAP is negligible. Why hasn't the CAP been reformed hitherto? They promised Blair that it would be reformed in return for his signature on one of the Treaties; they reneged because of French shenanigans.

The EU is a Germany/France stitch-up. You want to be on the inside of that. Unbelievable.
