EU referendum, “In or Out” has become hot topic of discussion. Although many opinions have been expressed, yet most voters are confused, as there is more hype, propaganda and misinformation than truth.
Normally Kapil’s Khichadi provides guidance. He gave readers pros and cons of EU membership but finally lend his support to OUT group. I had long chat with Kapilbhai as I was not entirely convinced, I will act upon Kapil’s recommendation and vote to get “OUT”. But one should weigh pros and cons and vote accordingly.
Although PM Cameron negotiated new terms that would give us best of both worlds, most sceptics are not convinced. While scaremongers tell us it will be economical suicide to pull out when 2 million jobs depend on EU trade, that once we leave, we will lose free access and control of immigration, as Custom Posts will shift from European ports to Dover, the reality is somewhat different.
We have trade deficit of £86 billion with EU and every 3 jobs created here, 4 jobs in EU depend on our import. We are second biggest market for German cars. If EU blocks our free trade, they will lose more than us. After Germany, we contribute most to EU coffers. Perhaps the devil you know may be better than leap in the dark! Choice is entirely yours, use it wisely.
