There is lot of rhetoric and hot air created in the E.U. Referendum by the Brexit side.
But the hard facts show. Brexit are talking about loss of, sovereignty, mass migration in to UK, lack of democracy in E.U., will have faster growth outside E.U. and negotiate new trade agreements. But the hard facts show these are all red herrings and a bogey of misinformation.
Regarding sovereignty there are 28 countries in the E.U. what about their sovereignty? Are Brexit saying that only UK will lose it and not the other E.U. countries?
Mass migration is a figment of their imagination, no such thing is going to happen. There are mechanism in place to deal with such a situation. Migration is good for the economic, culture and social well-being of this country. We need more young people to keep the economy going. They do useful work in the agriculture sector, industrial sector, construction industry, leisure industry, NHS, and do jobs which local people are unwilling to do. They give more to this country than they take away yet Brexit is demonising them.
How can there be lack of democracy in E.U. when we have ministerial representation the in the Council of Minister, we have representation in the Commission and also in the European parliament though our MEPs. We have a meaningful say in all the 3 main institutions of the E.U. What more do they want?
It will not be easy to get new markets straightaway for fast economic growth. Brexit have not talked to any non E.U. county who would do a trade agreement with them. The non-E.U. countries would rather do business and trade with E.U. which has a market of 500 million people than a country like Britain which a market of only 70 million people. They are misleading the people for their own vested interests.
It is time to make up one’s mind and support to remain inside a reformed E.U. which will give a better future to our children and grandchildren.
The other point they raise is that schools, housing and hospitals would not cope with the increase because of immigration. If that is the case, why not build more schools, more hospitals, more affordable houses, which will create more employment and economic growth. There will be no losers only winners.
We also benefit tremendously by remaining in E.U. by getting a better environment, in fighting terrorism, tackle cyber-attacks, improvement in our security, have free trade in Europe, visa free travel, protection of the rights ordinary people, protection of customers and workers and opportunities for British people to live and work to all E.U. countries. It is a two traffic and not one way as propagated by Brexit.
Leading financial institutions like IMF, World Bank, OECD, WTO, Bank of England, and Treasury have very openly warned of the adverse economic consequences of leaving the E.U. This has been backed up by prominent economists and the newspaper like ‘Economist’ and others.
We have to overcome this’ Project Fear’ of Brexit and make a decision to remain in the EU.
