Not the intent of this thread, so I'll simply point out our President has committed spending packages which already exceed $100,000.00 (something like 80,000 euros) for every man, woman, and child in the USA. And he's not even close to done.
Out with the old rubbish? True enough... But we can't afford this guy...

As an outsider, but one familiar with european politics, I would remain in the EU. Remember what the concept of the European Union is all about. It creates a singular economic power. Unfortunately, that also requires a European Commission.
The European Union creates an economic power, that rivals the US. That is important in a global economy.

I voted to get out - with some regret
As one of the few people old enough to be around when we as the UK joined the then EEC, now EU, I was a great supporter of the concept of an economic community in Europe. After years of membership, and trading within the community and externally, I find my views completely reversed, not by the concept itself but by the implementation, It looks like what ever happens with our national politics the end of our membership is only a matter of time.

between political correctness and EU rulings we're not far off from 1984!

Hi Nick,
Funny thing is of course that Orwell's original title was 1948 and was changed to 1984 by the publisher I think without asking him :)

Withdraw ASAP
The only thing i want to be part of in Europe is NATO and now the cold war is at an end thats pretty much redundant as well.
I just cant see how the EU knows whats best for me ? Not as if its based in London is it.
I cant see how the U.K can be regulated anywhere apart from the U.K. Just my view on the subject and not necessarily right.
The rulings they make have no relevance to me or my life apart from trying to conform/control everyone/everything.
