Ok..
a) for a start one of the main arguments is that jobs and exports are dependent on staying in, which is a lie.. we could still trade even if we were not a member, Switzerland and Norway are doing just fine thanks very much
b) neither Labour nor Tory government has done a cost based check on an in or out vote
c) we'd save a fortune on bureaucracy, hangers on and silly laws regarding cornish pasties or the length and girth of a banana
d) Brussels creates almost 3/4 of UK law, we have no autonomy as a country
e) You can have a trade agreement if you have something worthwhile to trade...look at Canada, USA and Mexico, without needing to relinquish sovereignty
