Should Britain stay in the EU or is now the time to leave?To pull out would be very damaging, it would also be very £costly (especially to our faming community). We benefit hugely from being part of the EU. We need a more intelligent approach to our membership and engage more wholeheartedly in how Europe is managed while keeping our UK identity and decision making as close to where it impacts as possible. At present devolution is being proposed in the UK, however it is anything but that as drains away power and finance from local authorities, placing important decisions such as major infrastructure and growth schemes in the hands of new unaccountable bodies. We should be far more worried about that than our membership of the EU.
