print the numbers and hang them over your bed because you will not see such numbers again. |
Yes the UK has done OK by being in the Common Market. It has suffered by being in the EU. You do understand the difference or maybe you don't?
And there's the problem does the EU want to lose such a power house from it's club?
The UK does not want to be ruled by a central committee of unelected bureaucrats passing laws it has little to no control over. It does not want to have courts that are above those based in the UK. It does not want to fund projects outside the UK with UK taxpayers money. It does not want a useless EU Army. It does not want to pay the bill for the Euro because those bureaucrats were stupid and gave it to countries that unable to manage it. It does not want the CAP a policy that was introduced to pay for small uneconomic European farms.
Maybe you do and are willing to pay for so much you don't want.
