We know the EU isn't perfect. Out of our 4 co-founders: Will voted Leave and Femi has literally worked for a group called Alter-EU.
But here's why, on balance, being in the EU is better for you.
You need stuff to be as cheap as possible. Well for the UK as a country, the rest of Europe is our local supermarket. It's cheaper and faster for us to get stuff from there. Being in the EU makes it even cheaper and even faster. So your prices stay low.
You have the right to live in any country you like across the EU. So if there aren't jobs in the UK, you can go work in a hotel in France or an office in Austria. No elitist visa system. As long as you find a job in 3months and register, 31 countries are yours to choose from.
You need the UK government to have the time/money to help make your life better. The EU means that many government responsibilities are shared. (40 EU agencies around Europe). The cost is also shared among 28 countries. Leaving us with more time/money to make things better here.
You need the NHS to work properly. You need patient waiting times to be shorter. EU citizens make up 5% of our population but they make up 10% of our doctors. So EU immigration is keeping our NHS and YOU alive.
You need to be heard. Many of us feel our votes don't change much in Westminster. Either the 2-party system means you never get the change you need or your party can never win where you live.
Because the EU voting system is more proportional your vote can literally count for more
You want UK businesses to do well. You want your business to be able to compete in Europe with businesses from other EU countries. You want to be able to sell to Europe in the exact same way as you would sell to the UK. And for that you want the laws to be the same on both sides.
You need things to change.
You need an NHS that actually works. You need a country that works for the WHOLE country. You need investment in schools, industries, transport..
You need the government to focus on THAT, not pissing around embarrassing us in Brussels.
"You don't trust government.
None of us do. The UK doesn't have a written constitution which means they can literally do what they like to us.
The EU at least sets minimum standards for human rights, workers' rights, and just general ethics, to keep them in check and protect us."
