The social benefits are subject to opinion, and in mine I think that it is a brilliant union which brings Europe closer.

I unsurprisingly agree again with all you say above Josh.
I am glad you like the referendum as to Trident too, the Parties at Westminster are divided it seems on the Trident issue.
Labour was always going to look at it but were in favour of its renewal although not necessarily the whole 4 content.
The Conservatives were in favour of full renewal although Michael Fallon on a daily politics programme would not commit to the Conservatives supporting a Labour minority govt bringing a vote to renew Trident.
SNP and PC were against Trident.
Even UKIP was not totally enthusiastic as to its full renewal.
In light of that with over 63% of those voting,, not voting for the Conservative party, then as you say it should be something looked at party politics aside, and one way to ensure the right way is taken is to ask the voters straight in a referendum, with the choices and get at least the temperature of their thinking on this big issue too.
