There are elements of the EU which I don't like - a non-directly elected president , and TTIP, just to name two of them. But that doesn't mean you have to cut off your nose to spite your face, within any governmental organisation you have to be mature and work to find agreements and fight for what you truly believe in. A lot of people dislike the way our House of Commons is run, shall we just walk away from that also? Of course you don't, that wouldn't benefit anyone. And it's the same for the EU. Seems to me that Euroscepticism is just a way to euphemism the fact that people are too lazy to look towards sensible reform an would rather just look at the issue in a very black-or-white way.

So in other words, if people disagree with you, they're ignorant Farage-supporters? Josh, get your head out of your arse and credit people with a little more intelligence, at LEAST as much as you think you have.
The bottom line is this: We get back only about half what we put in. We trade more with the USA than we do with the EU, and we'd
still trade with the EU regardless of whether we were a member... other countries do.
I can't see any benefit for Brits apart from the free movement through borders, and that's a double-edged sword if ever there was one.
I was on the fence for a long time, but after considerable thought I came to my conclusion.
Out.
