A another couple of points, if we had remained, re-joined the EU and the progress toward a European Army (ie European Armed Forces), how would that play? Imagine that control of Britain's entire defence and security interests were controlled by Brussels? Should the Argentinians seize the opportunity to threaten, never mind invade, the Falklands Islands again. Could we realistically see Belgian and Spanish troops being embarked on German Ships supported by a French Aircraft Carrier, for eg, to head on down to the South Atlantic with a realistic intent to rescue the Falkland Islanders from Argentinian Forces. The Falklands after all, would be the EUs military responsibility.
Another point, what if this set too with the French were to occur if we were still in? Or is the argument it wouldn't if we were, in which case what's all the bother about?
