Sovereignty
Does the EU make over 80% of British laws? The real answer, NO.
The House of Commons Library (impartial researchers who don’t work for any party) have said 13.2% of our laws are from Europe
Others say the EU is undemocratic, is this right? Again, NO. Just as we elect our MP’s, we also elect our MEP’s (Members of the European Parliament) who represent us in Brussels.
Cost
Does EU membership cost us £55 million a day? NO. EU membership costs the UK government £5 billion a year, equating to just over £15 million a day. What’s more, the Treasury has said that public finances would be hit by £36 billion should we vote to leave. So instead of more money for public services, leaving the EU would mean less money, putting more strain on an already stretched NHS, and costing each household up to £4,300.
The Alternatives
The big question, what would the UK look like outside the EU? We could be like Norway or Sweden some people say, they have great deals they add. But, do they really? They accept the EU’s freedom of movement, EU regulations and contribute to the EU budget, without any say on what goes on.
As for a new deal, without agreeing to many of the terms of EU membership there is a very good chance tariffs will be introduced. Making goods more expensive and hitting the likes of me and you straight in the pocket.
