That's not entirely true. The EU does give many benefits, but it is also extremely expensive and wasteful. I mean they make the UK parliment look like beginners with expenses. :)

I would rather stay in europe, but it needs modernising. It reminds me a bit of FIFA, kind of an old boys club who dont want to reform because they have it so good.

Yeah you do have a point. The EU does have problems as well, but it's in the UK's best interests to stay in and try to fix those problems than to just leave.

I wonder just how many of the EU's problems could have been avoided if it hadn't expanded so much and to countries with such weak economies (relative to the main European ones at least).

Totally agree, but i'm not sure how much Europe wants to reform, they are very much like FIFA :)

Someone mentioned the Rebate that Maggie got, I would note that we are not the only country to get one, and others get farming subsidies... that are just as weird and wonderful.
