BREXIT
I'm a real Europhile. I love being "European" and I'm not particularly seduced by nationalist feelings, perhaps due to my mixed heritage. But even given that, I can't see what benefit there is to staying in the EU, an organisation which seems to contradict so many of the moral and social principles I hold dear, aims at federalism when I value subsidiarity, and hasn't had any audited accounts for 20 years!! The only arguments I've heard for staying in boil don't to "bad things will happen if we leave". I don't buy it. We're a net contributor, we'll make a net saving by not buying in. For example, we are the 4th largest importer of BMW. Are you seriously telling me that Germany will want to jeopardise that market place?
