Stole this from comments on a "Stronger In" post on Facebook EU in decline Europe is in serious economic and demographic decline. It now only accounts for 19% of world GDP. By 2050, the figure will be 7% (Willem Buiter, Citigroup - March 2011). Even the European Commission itself admits that "Over the next ten to 15 years, 90% of world demand will be generated outside Europe." (Trade - Europa.eu). The EU Single Market, while still important, is of declining significance to us. There is an unstoppable shift in economic power taking place away from Europe. The Commonwealth countries, including economic powerhouses such as India, Canada, Australia and Singapore, are already more economically significant than the 19 eurozone members (world economics.com - January 2013) The EU population is ageing and will be in absolute decline by 2050, whereas over 60% of the Commonwealth's 2.2 billion citizens are under the age of 30 (thecommonwealth.org). EU membership ties us to a declining economic block and holds us back from developing economic ties with more dynamic, faster-growing parts of the world. Market access, not EU membership The UK does not need to be in the EU to have access to the EU Single Market. Switzerland, Mexico, South Korea - altogether more than 50 other countries - trade with the EU through a free trade agreement (FTA). A further 73 nations are negotiating their own FTAs with Brussels (Europa.eu - February 2013). The claim that a 'business as usual' free trade agreement would not be on offer to the UK after we leave the EU is a blatant scare story. As a signatory to the World Trade Organisation, an independent Britain would be protected from discriminatory high tariffs because of the Most Favoured Nation principle, one of the cornerstones of the WTO system. The WTO is rendering customs unions like the EU redundant by reducing tariff barriers across the world. Exports go global UK exports to the EU now represent less than 10% of British GDP and this is falling (Briefing Note 67, Global Britain - January 2011). An increasing majority of what we sell overseas goes to countries outside the EU (Economic Review, Office for National Statistics - July 2012) Yet the EU's regulations are applied to all our firms regardless of whether they export to the EU Single Market or not. Brussels now accounts for approximately half of all our internal, national legislation (Research Paper 10/62 - House of Commons Library, October 2010). Too slow, too remote In the global era, it is vital that we can react speedily to changing events and take decisions that are in the interest of the UK economy. Our parliament needs to be able to modify or reverse laws that are detrimental to our enterprises and public sector bodies. If we stay in the EU, Brussels will ultimately make all the big economic decisions for us. Britain now has only a 12.6% share of the votes in the Council of Ministers, 9.7% of the votes in the European Parliament and zero votes in the European Commission, which has the sole right to initiate EU laws. So we have very little opportunity to influence the laws they make. It therefore makes more sense for us to leave, accept the product regulations necessary to export into the Single Market (just as we do when selling our goods and services to all other economies), play a more direct role in influencing those regulations at the global level where they are increasingly made and decide for ourselves our own domestic legislation. Out of the EU, we would be free of the Common Agricultural Policy that discriminates against producers in developing countries, would be able to determine our own trade policy and save £15 billion a year in payments to the EU budget (Table 3.B, EU Finances 2012, HM Treasury - July 2012). Integration will continue Within the next three years, the EU will become even more politically centralised as Brussels acquires a range of new powers in a bid to save the euro. Eurozone countries will then vote as a single bloc and be able to impose new job-threatening measures on the UK economy. Our politicians must focus on developing our trading and political links to the Commonwealth and other faster developing parts of the world.

what they should do, is have their captain overtly tap up other players that is the better way of doing things

If George Osborne tells us that pensions will go pop if we leave. I trust him, f'sure
