For leaving the EU certainly.

For leaving the EU certainly.

It is exactly 40 years since a cautiously enthusiastic Britain joined the Common Market.

In the first week of 1973, the week Britain joined the Common Market, the Government put on a festival of European culture so that the British people could share what their Prime Minister, Edward Heath, called his “heart full of joy” at their country's shiny new Euro-future.

Despite widespread doubts over whether Britain would ever actually join, and despite the opposition of the Labour Party to membership on the terms proposed, the key Commons vote had been won comfortably, 356 to 244. Sixty-nine Labour rebels voted for entry; only 39 Tory rebels voted to stay out. And within two years, 67 per cent of the British people endorsed the UK’s membership in a referendum.

Unfortunately, Britain’s entry into the Common Market was swiftly followed by perhaps the worst few years its economy has ever known: the oil crisis, the three-day week and double-digit inflation. The EEC was (largely unfairly) blamed for quite a lot of this.

But the second big development of the late Eighties — the fall of the Berlin Wall — put rocket-boosters under Delors’ ideas. It made the French much keener on European integration and a single currency, as a way of restraining what they believed would otherwise be a dominant, reunited Germany. The result, in 1991, was the Maastricht treaty,

The UK won opt-outs from both these things, but there, essentially, was sown the seeds of today’s arguments. It could be said that Britain did not move away from Europe, but that it moved away from us. The British people joined, and were happy to join, a common market. They did not sign up to a social chapter, a single currency or any moves down the road to a superstate.

The ultimate proof of how well we might have survived outside the EU is that, even today, both Norway and Switzerland, two of the richest countries in Europe, export a higher percentage of their products to the EU than we do, without having had to join.

The EU: so where did it all go wrong?
This was an illusion.
(1) Our govt refused single currency
(2) The refugees & migrant crisis
(3) We are forced to follow most of EU rules

You have to make your own decision.
