EU in or out ?

[Val]

As I am old enough to remember voting to join the Common Market, in 1975, on promises of "Wine lakes" and "Butter mountains", all fictitious...............

1) Why do we need 73 fatcat MEPs on big salaries and enormous expenses?
2) Why should we pay £8.5 bn, that's £8,500,000,000, to be in a club that tells us what to do?
3) Like many, I am totally pissed off with some obscure "Court" in Luxembourg telling us how to run our judicial system.
4) Immigration is only a small part of the problem and has been used politically in the "for and against" parties.
5) Modern day politics in my view is the same as religion or football clubs. It starts out with good intentions, then realises it has power and economic advantage over its members and starts to squeeze ever tighter.

Finally, the Pub Landlord had my vote at "Beer will be 1p/pint. !!

In all honesty there is a big confusion and right mess about the whole in/out of EU.

For example UK actually has founded European Convention of Human Rights and the associated European Court of Human Rights is part of Council of Europe, the Council or Europe conatins 47 countries and that has nothing to do witn EU itself or in/out referendum.

Otherwise nobody can see what exactly is the point of having these fat cats MEPs.
