Other than easier holiday travel I can't understand what the average person see's in the advantage of being in the EU.
Turning our backs on the rest of the world and having very little control over our own trade is not a good thing.
The biggest growth of trade in the future most certainly doesn't lie within the EU, it lies with the rest of the world.
The basic principle of the EU is for the richer countries to subsidise the poorer countries with an objective to bring the wealth of the poorer countries up to the median level. This has not happened, the number of net contributors in the EU has dropped, the number of subsidised countries has increased - the EU has achieved the opposite of this basic principle. The main subsidisers are becoming subsidisers for life and those subsidies are increasing.
Using those subsidies to build metal clowns and the like I find very hard to justify, refurbishment of properties, improvements in road surfaces and the like would seem like money much better spent.
