Are you pro-EU?

[Dean]

Do you have a more reasoned argument more than saying I sound like the Labour party lol.

[-:Undertaker:-]

But in the EU we have better trade and a more stronger currency. I believe that we should switch to the Euro (and many of you Eurosceptics gasp at this)

This is shown how? - the only reason this country and the world has grown so much since the 1980's is because of Thatcherism which saw this economy go from near total collapse to being one of the most prosperous in the world.

The Pound Sterling is much stronger than the Euro and a more respected currency around the world. The pound is also beyond damage from other countries as other nations do not have the pound sterling and therefore whatever economic problems occur with their currency, it won't affect us.

You seem very for the European Union, most likely because you've been brought up to believe it by a socialist family/background. If you like being governed by unelected left wing failures then you should move to North Korea instead of forcing the EU on the people of Europe.

and what's wrong with switching over to the Euro?

As stated above, having the same currency means if a crash/disaster concerning that currency occurs, then we would be suffering as a result of poor economic management by the EU itself or a member state.


The Dutch said NO.
The French said NO.
The Irish said NO.

How many times do the people of Europe need to say NO before the message sinks in?

Having the Euro would single handedly ruin this country. The pound is higher than the euro again :/ Plus, the pound is better looking than the euro, the euro is nasty and cheap (personal opinion )

[Dean]

why disregard the benefits which the EU have created for us. and I'm not forcing the EU onto the European people, im just having an opinion on why we should stay in the EU and switch to the Euro. Long term it's a good idea, although we can't control interest rates. Also, we would perhaps not have as many eastern european immigrants coming here to find work as the financial gains would not be so great, protecting UK jobs.

What benefits have the EU created for us? I don't like the idea of a union attempting to run x amount of countries taking on-board no individual needs for them, fishing in the UK for example was excellent, until the EU came along. I prefer individual nationalities, that use their own law and government systems. It's what makes different countries interesting. Of course it isn't that bad, but it's not good :/ Unlimited immigration is a bad idea, how has that benefited the country? How would having the Euro benefit the UK? We have no control over it, much like other countries. The cons out-weight the pros, really.

How is being governed by an unelected organisation a benefit?

How is having over 75% of our laws made by the EU a benefit?

How is paying £40 million per day to the EU a benefit?

How is losing national sovereignty to the EU a benefit?

How is not having control over our borders a benefit?

How is not being able to overturn EU laws/regulations forced upon us a benefit?

How is having useless and costly regulations and laws forced onto this country from the EU a benefit?

How is having our fishing and agricultural industries decimated by the EU a benefit?

How is having to pay much higher prices than we should for food because of the EU a benefit?

How is having our farmers/producers fruit and vegtables being thrown away because the EU says they are 1mm or so out of shape a benefit?

How is having a centralised economy like state failures such as North Korea, People Republic of China under Chairman Mao and the former Soviet Union a benefit?

You are living a crazy eurocrat dream and the sooner you and our three main parties wake up from the sleepwalk into this awful, damaging, unelected and left wing organisation-soon-to-become-state, the better.

[Dean]

Do the EU currently control our borders?

[-:Undertaker:-]

Do the EU currently control our borders?

That is all you have to say to all of that? - you don't really have a clue what your talking about do you. The EU do have control of our borders yes, with the EU free movement policy.

K, I'm just wondering. I'm only expressing my opinions on what I think should happen, just like you. I'm not 100% into politics as you can tell but I'm still a human and I still have the right to say what I want.

Anyway, UKIP won't win. Most likely be Conservatives.

Meh, it's better than any of the other two major parties - Labour and Lib Dems. At least Conservatives are a happy medium between UKIP and them two
