For Englands sake, they'd do better without the EU. It's the worst system I ever saw. I'd like to see England be soverign as it was before.

Well, it's hard for England now to be the England that all the people knew !
Coming back to the history, England lost its major position in the world (1940's)
The WW2 and the end of colonialism era, made from U.K a weaker economical system, that pushed U.K to ask for help from the U.S that have realized that by The Recovory Program ( Marshall's aid ) that led in the nearest future to forming the OEEC (1950's). After few years OEEC became the begin of EU.
England made a lot to build the OEEC and the EU, and with out it, the EU would not exist.
At the beginig of the EU it was just an economical idea, in my opinion it was a great idea (1980's) that helped all the EU countries to stabilize their economical systems, but day after day the idea of the EU became a political deology by it self, in my opinion it was not a bad idea too ( ae it leads to integrations and liberalizm and tolerance between the pertners, it has reduced the hatress between germany and french that lasted for ages and now is desappeared ) but now its spreading every where, all the police men will have the same clothes and cars, the payments will be the same and even the rights and laws will be the same -no body is thinking that europian countries even if they laying near each other they have different traditions and its will be impossible to find the best solutions that may cheer everybody and that the law that works here wont work there at least from a ethic or moral views- and minimalizing the soviregn of some countries (may be all of them ?!)...
I am seeing that most of the people dont like that France or Germany tells England what to do ! Its normal, but in the other hand is int it a form of Democracy?!
Let's imagine a little now...
its the year 2030. The EU now is th emost powerfull union in the world, its has the largest army, the best economics and all the world is dreaming about EU so on... but england is not in the union !
I think a fact like this would make the people upset...
Coming back to the imperialc era...
The people got used to feel that they are the most powerful, that they can travel every where and speak ebglish cuz all the world speaks english too... But now its over... Sad but true...
The same what happened to the Russian's after the end of the comunizm...
Patience, tolerance, and love... That what i would sugest for the british...

We've gone as far as we should ever go into this nascent neo-communist state. Coming out of it would be economically damaging - we'd lose the open borders which would increase the cost of trading with EU nations.
Remaining on the sidelines and retaining our national sovereignty and our autonomy, that's fine. We don't need to have our national affairs dictated by faceless suits in Brussels.
In the future there will be a need for a mediator between what the EU will become, and the USA. We're ideally placed, geographically and politically (at the moment) to fulfil that role. If we give up our autonomy we will compromise that position. Who will do it then, good old super-trustworthy (not) Russia maybe?

The EU is good in some regards. The free trade and removal of countries boundaries is good for all our economies. Also they have come up with some good ideas, top of which is the minimum wage. Yep thats right the minimum wage wasn't the idea of the labour party they were told to do it.
However i think they are trying to take too much power in running our country, it should remain as it was set up which as an economic union which has helped to stabalise europe. I don't want this country run from brussels and its starting to head that way which is going to be a negative impact on our country.

Even if the UK would be better without the EU, I think that it is too late now. The majority of the EU countries are so deeply in the system that it would be a real catastrophe it they decided to quit NOW.

Its not worthless. The idea that you can go and work in Spain, Italy (lovely sun) or Norway (snow) automatically without having to go through a lengthy citizenship application is brilliant, so is the european driving licence. You can go driving in any EU country you like without worrying about wether you licence is valid.
European standards across industries allow you to get qualifications here and they are valid across all of Europe and carry the same weight.
The only problems we have is European law sticking its nose in here, telling us how to run our countries.
Overall its worth it though.

The EU is an unworkable nonsense. They will work it out in the end, but our masters just want to get on the gravy train while the going is good.

UK does not need the EU because it has a good economy and security of the country is not a problem.

The rest of the EU would be glad to see the back of the UK.
