Can we afford the EU?
11 Answers
Can we afford to stay in the EU or tolerate the many, many orders we are obliged to obey?
The government says that Britain's membership since 1973 has cost us �56,000,000,000 after allowing for the grants we received.
The cost to the UK is close to �100,000 every minute.
Only 16% of our economic activity is with the EU.
The UK is the fifth largest economy in the world. We have more overseas assets than all the other EU countries put together.
Would we be better out of the EU?

According to your govt, there are roughly 50% of jobs in the UK dependent on continuing EU membership.
Personally, I couldn't care less about the UK staying in as I'm not from there, but believe me, your 'special relationship' with the US would be bloody well tested if you depended on them for export sales.

Of course people and organisations are anti-EU, that's why they want the people of the UK to know the facts. If you can prove the facts given are false, I will concede.
Also, I have given up believing what ministers of this government tell us. Most of the 50% of jobs reliant on being in the EU would still be there.

Hi dancunian,
I wonder whether a truly honest person can do an honest job representing his constituency? There appear to be so many entrenched ideas permeating the policies of the main political parties that if your local MP had doubts about them he couldn't do anything about it because he is under control of the party whip. Just like the huge question about contributing to global warming. I reckon that if a main political party decided to change some of the UK laws and financial decisions made for unworthy causes, they would lose thousands of votes at election time.
