More politicians are coming to the conclusion that the EU is not a good thing at all...especially while dominated by the Franco-German alliance(and to be honest the economy in France doesn't look so rosy).

I cannot see that the failure of the single currency is unrelated to(us pulling out of EU) the economic gloom that is prevalent across the EU right now - we put much more in than we get out of this corrupt institution...which has not had its accounts passed at audit for almost two decades...if a business ran on these lines...how long do you think it would last?
We need to be out of it.......and more people in the know are coming to this conclusion.
