Against:

  • Leaving the EU will not solve the migration crisis.
  • If Europe work together they can combat challenges.
  • Trading with other countries
  • It’s easier to get work and travel abroad.

For:

  • Border control will back in our hands.
  • Many Eurosceptics look to rich Norway as a country which trades with the EU without being in it. It also controls its own agriculture and keeps its fish, rather than being bound by EU quotas.
  • The European Parliament is directly elected, although the powerful Commission which proposes legislation is not.Because many of these laws supersede legislation made by individual states’ parliaments, some see the system as undemocratic.
  • Like most clubs, the EU charges a membership fee, and it has been claimed that the cost is around £55m per day.Analysis by Full Fact estimates the figure is closer to £24m per day when rebates and other receipts are taken into account.
