Point is though, with many states that have not been at peace there are very few trading links and little outside investment. The EU is well placed to start these links and work to bring about peace

Why is the EU any better placed than Britain on it's own?

True, but if we lobby the EU to improve global free trade, we would be getting the best of both worlds. Being part of a large trading block also increases our influence
|
Why lobby the EU, when we can just do it ourselves? When it suits Britains interests, why don't we team up with whatever countries we want to acheive our aims, rather than consign ourselves to straight jacket, such as the EU, where our voice will be just a small one amongst many. We may be in the minority and get forced INTO phpbb_supporting things we do not want!

Yup. But I don't trust our politicans to do this. Why did it take the EU to do it?

Thats a good argument for not voting for a particular party, but not for handing over full control to an either more distant power. At least we can throw the government out if we don't like what they are doing, this won't be the case if we keep sliding further INTO phpbb_the EU.
