Re: Hypocrites
We don't want to be proved right but fear we will be and we can also imagine the terms under which we'd have to be let back in. The Euro will be one. Probably the ever closer union crap will be another.
Your argument for remaining in the EU makes no sense. You need to understand that ever closer political union is the agenda. It's part of the fundamental vision of the EU's founders. Whether the UK stays in or out, will not change this. If you think that closer union is "crap", in your own words, then I'm afraid the EU is not for you!
Likewise for the Euro. All new members are forced to adopt it and all the important countries, except the UK, already have, which gives you a clear indication of the direction of travel.
