What about the Brits..? 1000 years history - British Empire..? What do you think all the little minded Brexit guys want..? These guys lament the fact that they cannot any longer have free rein to do what their forebears did for centuries. in the main, they go to the top schools, attend the top universities and now when they come out and land the top positions they can no longer impose their corrupt rule on the ordinary oiks. They want to roll back on employment laws, Human Rights & many other good aspects that come with being members of the EU. The man in the street will have no say, no democracy. If we all vote to leave we will be handing back power without any hope of review or restraint to these bunch of alickadoos, hooray henrys & sycophants that long for a return of ascendancy rule where a nod & a wink will come back into play for the select few. The long term advantage of the EU is that there will always be competing interests who will keep the control freaks in line, more or less. Yes, the EU does need reforming & so on but that can be done from the inside. Farage & his mateys have long been in Brussels with their snouts in the trough and could have pushed for change but have only tried to sabotage whatever they could at every chance. I'm for remaining and also for reform - this ought to be the main message to the EU and many including Madam Chancellor will run with that as it is in the interests of every EU economy.
