Have you noticed that those wanting out are on the far right of the Conservative Party?
Hardly conducive to being good for the workers.
My local MP is the leader of a Far Right Think Tank, actively promoting exit with £20 million behind them.
His arguments are that business would be far more profitable without all the workers rights, market forces would rule.
He wants the freedom to deregulate the economy completely, workers should stand on their own feet, pay for their pensions themselves, no contribution from employers.
They would still allow workers from the EU, but on short term contracts, as this would drive down costs, they would not pay them things like child benefits.
Cheaper to employ as he puts it.
Immigration would be an issue if we left, simply because it would mean that the French would be under no obligation at all to allow us Border Control on their soil at Calais etc, so we would have the problem of migrants claiming Asylum when they arrived in the UK, we would have no right to return them to France, it would have to be to their country of origin.
The EU is imploding at the moment, better to wait a few months to see what happens and then hold the Referendum.
We may well get what we want without having to leave.
