Why is it so hard to understand that our EU membership is worth much, much more than the £9 billion a year we pay for it? Single Market & Customs Union give us over £600 billion of trade without tariffs, and without non-tariffs barriers, neither of which would be true under WTO.
Free trade deals improve the trading conditions for £100s of billions more. UK citizens have the freedom to live, work, travel and get free or reduced healthcare in the EU. Border posts flow freely. Coach and rail travel is unimpeded. Professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants,
architects, etc. can practice in the EU without having to retake qualifications). We get visa-free travel to dozens of other countries the EU has agreements with. We can drive on our UK licenses in the EU without needing international licenses or green cards. Our financial
and insurance firms can sell their products from the City to anywhere in the EU. We can take our pets with us on holidays without complex paperwork. This barely scratches the surface of what our EU membership includes. It's like those premium bank account packages.
Pay £10 a month for the account, get free travel insurance, AA membership, discounted shopping etc. etc. Yes, it costs £10 a month - but it gives you much more than £10 of VALUE in return. Think of all we're giving up. Think of all we're walking away from. A crying shame.
