Once we get our borders back we can decide what quantity comes in, reducing the poorer quality of life that can currently be seen in parts of the UK. We also now have the ability to trade with the commonwealth countries. Canada, for example, couldn't trade with us because the EU wouldn't allow it.
Oh, and guess what? We'll now be a self-governing nation. No more un-elected bureaucrats telling us what to do. Democracy lives on.
Turkey isnt joining while its still unstable. Turkey is not forecasted to join within the next 2 decades, after which time it is likely to be somewhat stable anyway, so thats not a real argument. Particularly as staying in the EU is a reversible decision where as leaving is not.
The only people pushing for a referendum in France are their equivalent of the BNP, a successful referendum will not happen there anytime soon. Also wtf, "Germany" Germany are definitely not about to leave the EU at all
We also already had the ability to trade with commonwealth countries. We were trading with Canada already.
MEPs are not unelected. We were already a self-governing nation. The EU is a democratically run system, Im not sure you know what youve voted on mate.
