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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The E.U. is founded on the Treaties which apply only to the Member States who have agreed and ratified them.
The E.U. is the world's fastest growing democratic body.
Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.
The majority people in this country are suffering because of our membership of the E.U.
Most people would agree that the E.U. is too bureaucratic, not transparent or democratic enough and that it often interferes too much in matters that are best left to national governments.
Taken slightly historically, the turning point in the E.U. was actually the Single European Act, the Thatcher/Maastricht-era stuff, which was turning the E.U. into very much a market system.
We should believe in the strength and vitality of the values which constitute the E.U. and which neighbouring states can believe in and aspire to join.
I fought passionately to remain in the E.U., and I warned of the economic risks if we left the E.U.
