A case to remain in the EU based largely on economic factors is unsustainable. Economic factors change, and anyway increased wealth does not necessarily bring more happiness or security. A case to leave based largely on fears of uncontrolled immigration is similarly flawed. Immigration can be controlled and when controlled is not damaging. The absolute key issue in this referendum, which will seal the future of our nation, is sovereignty and who ultimately decides what laws we are governed by.
Donald Tusk, the EU Council president, admitted that eurocrats 'obsessed' with the goal of a European superstate forget the people of Europe are not interested in the idea. Mr Tusk said the EU had 'failed to notice' that the goals of its officials differed widely from the ambitions of the people in different member states. EU politicians were responsible for creating 'a utopia of Europe without nation states' and that 'obsessed with the idea of instant and total integration, we failed to notice that ordinary people, the citizens of Europe, do not share our Euro-enthusiasm.'
It can't be made any clearer than that.
