There were some who wanted all the benefits of E.U. membership without any of the costs. I'm not sure that's very realistic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The E.U. is an organization that was created after the Second World War for calming down the nationalism of member states, and it did so very successfully.
We have to ask ourselves, is it really right that the E.U. should just continue to expand, conferring upon all new member states all the rights of membership?
The E.U. is the latest of a series of multinational organizations set up after World War II to ensure that there would never again be a pan-European war and to create the conditions for a new European prosperity after the destruction wrought by the war against the Nazis. The E.U. has admirably succeeded at both.
The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market; it is a guarantee of democracy, freedom, justice, and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees.
While I have always thought that the motivation for looking for E.T. was both self-evident and patently worthy, it's possible that I'm a victim of my own job description. Others don't inevitably agree. Some will opine that there are better ways to spend the money.
Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.
If you vote to leave the E.U.... we will have additional flexibility to help industries who really need it.
I fought passionately to remain in the E.U., and I warned of the economic risks if we left the E.U.
I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers.
The majority people in this country are suffering because of our membership of the E.U.
