One Good Reason

John Carter · 16-03-2005, 10:58 AM

Yep, I know this probably ain't the best place to ask this but put yourselves in the shoes of the opposition for a moment.

Can anyone give me one good reason why the UK needs to be in the EU?

(I'll let you know where I'm going with this after a few responses)

I asked a similar question once:

as you can see the replies were very convincing :?

I know there is no reason to be in it but, if someone has a reason its nice to have something to come back with..

Well, Oliver Letwin told me that we need to be in because of the single market. :roll:

Reply:- Mexico isn't in the single market but has a trade agreement with the EU.

Europhiles will tell you that British jobs depend on the EU. We have sold our Electricity and Water Companies to other members of the EU.

Big is good, the bigger the better for a trading block.

All very plausible but!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Didnt we join a trading union with some countries once, I cant remember cos I was just leaving school and I didnt have a vote I think it was in 1972 or 1973 or 1974 about that time , I think it may have been called ECC or something like that. :?

what happened didnt it work out, is that why we later joined the EU?
