Up until the way Greece was treated last year, for as long as I can remember I had always been a pro European. The totally undemocratic way the ECB treated Greece pushed me for a short time into the OUT camp and it is only because I have looked into the pros and cons in light of the forthcoming referendum that I have returned to IN. It is however far from clear cut. There are two main reasons I have for remaining IN...1. the fear that tariffs placed on trade, post leaving, would cause economic damage resulting in job losses and lowering living standards and...2. The fear of a Tory government, free of EU laws and regulations, wreaking havoc in our society well into the next decade. Isn't it sad that these are purely negative reasons to want to stay IN? But there you have it - there appears to be no strong positive reason to remain and none to leave either! All it'll take to change my mind is for a clear picture to emerge is that leaving won't make much economic difference to remaining in and/or a realistic chance of a Corbyn led Labour government. Unfortunately, I am pessimistic of both those outcomes unfolding. So, as things stand, I'm effectively voting for the lesser of two evils, for the better the devil we know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295404732297207282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133929355900201783.post-76311648024136659072016-03-09T20:07:16.509+00:002016-03-09T20:07:16.509+00:00Thanks Nicely balanced summary that shows how hard...Thanks Nicely balanced summary that shows how hard it is to reach a decision about this. If people who have tried to understand it find it so hard to reach a consensus view, this indicates that the public will just vote on instinct.

Social Europe is no more but we can all campaign for it to return with Britain in the EU. SME's suffer from red tape from Brussels. There are too many regulations as EU law makes anything not covered by law illegal whereas in the UK it is the opposite. The Lisbon Treaty needs to be torn up in particular.
