Better Off Out of the EU

If the UK left the EU what would the consequences be?

"Up to 55% of those asked in recent British opinion polls say they would support it. But it's hardly ever discussed in polite political society. What is this great taboo?
Britain leaving the European Union.

Plenty of people in the UK still want a referendum on the Lisbon treaty.
After all the constitutional wrangling and embarrassing referendum results within the EU in recent years, reluctance to talk about this among the EU mainstream may be greater than ever".

"Time after time I have given the reformers the benefit of doubt, but no longer. Labour will not reform the EU. Don’t even ask the Liberal Democrats. Now the Conservative Party, in its decision to abandon its plan to take Britain out of the Common Fisheries Policy, has shown it is not serious about change. Reform is dead as a policy. It is not credible or believable. We’d be better off out – and if it means a grass roots campaign to achieve it then that’s what we must do."

"From being a supporter of British membership of the Common Market in 1970 I have come to believe that the United Kingdom would be Better Off Out of the developing European Republic of the 21st century. We British have a thousand year history of self-government. We have been free and democratic longer than any other nation. The European Union is too diverse, too bureaucratic, too corporatist and too centralist to be a functioning democracy. We are happy to trade with our European friends and the rest of the world - but we would prefer to govern ourselves."
