I can't see one advantage for being in the Euro or, indeed, the EC.

Unlike most other members we pay more money in than we get out.

We have a maze of restrictive and often illogical rules and regulations imposed on us by Brussels.

The Euro parliament itself is a hugely inefficient, wasteful body, riddled by corruption which seems to serve as a comfortable billet for has-been politicians like Neil Kinnock (and his wife).

We pay through the nose to subsidise farmers, while farmers in the third world starve because they can't compete on an unlevel palying field.

Our fishing industry has been decimated by Eurocrats.

The proposed European constitution will take away even more of our autonomy and effectively create a European superstate.

Yet despite all this, the Europhiles tell us that leaving the EC would be a disaster.So how come Norway, one of Europe's most prosperous countries, is not in the EC? And if all the countries on one continent joining together into one superstate is such a good idea, how come it's never been tried anywhere else like Asia or South America?

The EC is one big con. Leave it now!
