RE: Politics (and other political stuff)
A lot of the reasons I would like to leave, is down to the stranglehold the EU has over our own parliament.
We can elect or vote out or own politicians, but cannot do the same with the unelected dictators who are in charge of the EU and who can (and often do), over-rule our own Government, whilst we pay millions for them to do so.
Another issue I find concerning is the fishing and farming subsidies dished out to other EU countries (Spain isn't a state).
These subsidies which are often intended to help those needing support, are often at the expense of fishermen and farmers in other countries, such as the UK.
It isn't just a coincidence the UK fishing fleet has suffered and declined since EU quotas and other legislation was introduced.
One of the positive things I have found with the in/out referendum, is that people from all sides of the fence are keen to have their say, irrespective of what their party leader has to say.
For example:
Jeremy Corbyn was elected as Leader of the Labour Party on an enormous wave of optimism and support. Winning on the first round, his policies appealed to an overwhelming majority of our Party members. We will all be campaigning for a Labour government in 2020. But many of those policies Jeremy has spoken of- the nationalization of the railways and energy companies, ending the privatization of the NHS and restoring Trade Union rights cannot be achieved under existing EU legislation. The only way to achieve those bold and popular policies is to leave the EU.
