We were fooled in the first place about Europe, the claim being that it was going to be a giant co-operative. Nothing was further from the truth.
America got the better of Russia by economic means (i.e. Star Wars, space travel etc) during the Cold War and The EU seems bent on what seems a similar method for the UK and other countries.
But perhaps I'm being somewhat cynical.
Even so, I persoanlly think we are best out of the EU in view of our position as the fifth biggest economy in the world. I know quite a few businessmen and they state that although it would be easier to remain in the EU as far as dealing with member states is concerned, in the end it would basically come down to somewhat more paperwork than usual and that few, if any other countries, would turn down trade with us.
We would also be able to trade, as we have over many decades, with the rest of the world with far fewer hindrances or interference from Brussels.
