BREXIT - LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE EU.


BREXIT – LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE EU.

 
The main thing that will loose the “out campaign” a unanimous vote in the referendum is the people’s fear of what to expect in “ life outside of the EU ”. Unfortunately it is a fact that “frightened people always vote for the bully” and we know who the bully is in this matter despite the “in campaign” claiming that fear will play no part in their campaign. The people need to be given both sides of the argument in clear language that ordinary people can understand to allow them to make an independent decision on what they think is best for the UK as a whole and them and their family and friends in particular.

The “out campaign” no matter how it is structured or who its leaders are have to be seen to be singing off the same hymn sheet. It is the message that matters more than the messenger and ordinary people are not going to support a cause just because they recognise the person giving it. A number of people are keen to tell us what life could be like if we vote to stay in the EU but nobody seems as keen to tell us what “life outside of the EU” will be like for the ordinary people. We hear generalisations about law making, the judicial system, control of our borders, our place in the world etc. but very little about jobs, earnings, immigration, housing, trade deficits, imports etc. and how living standards will be affected for the ordinary people.

There are rumours abound that if the UK votes to leave that the EU could demand another referendum as they have done in other countries until they secured the outcome that they wanted, that there would have to be a meeting of the other 27 countries to decide the conditions of the UK leaving and that it could take up to five years to complete and that the EU has threatened to make the UK’s life as difficult as it possibly can, using them as an example to deter any other country from considering taking any form of similar action.
