Should Britain stay in the EU?
Watch this postWith the general election now over it appears that David Cameron will soon ask the electorate to vote in a referendum, whether the UK should stay or leave the EU.
The EU is Britain’s biggest trading partner and the countries in it our closest neighbours. The EU has bought many benefits for its members but there are still challenges. Britain has not joined the Euro and in many aspects strives to keep some independence.
There are a whole host of conflicting issues surrounding this debate. What are your views? should we stay or leave the EU? Is there a middle way? Should we risk leaving our largest economic partnership? What do you see as the major benefits of staying and those if we leave? What would you suggest?

We import more from the EU than we export to them. We would do well to continue to do business with the up and coming countries such as Indian, Brasil, China, and other Asian markets where there is great potential for sales. The EU is a dying corrupt entity which has never signed off its books. A audit of its finances would show a catalogue of financial disasters over many years.
We managed very well indeed trading with the whole world before the EU and we shall do so again. I want us out of the EU as soon as possible in order to control our borders which is more important now then ever before with the current refugee/migrant situation which is out of control, in part thanks to Frau Merkel. Having a open door policy will bring the EU to its knees in the not to distant future. Right now it is storing up huge problems for future generations. Common sense seems to have deserted these politicians here in the UK and in the EU so they will reap what they sow. I promise you no one will like the result that ensues.
Our laws should be made here in the UK and not by unelected politicians in Brussels!
Our many heroes who fought and died defending our country in two world wars must be turning in their graves at the way the politicians of this country have signed and continue to sign our sovereignty away piece by piece. Save Great Britain for our children and children's children by voting to leave the EU.
