Taxpayers money can stay in this country to be used for our own needs instead of new roads and pavements for other EU countries. (just look at the state of our own!)
We can decide who comes into our country instead of being ordered.
We can make our own laws again instead of 65% being made in Brussels.
Our laws will have the final say instead of being made to obey the primacy of theirs.
We will no longer have to accept decisions forced on us by “qualified majority voting”from the EU with their crafty advantage of size of country meaning winning the votes every time and us being outvoted every time.
We will never be in the ridiculous position of having to listen to no less than 5 EU presidents!
We will never again be under the boot of the EU Commision who have the right to propose new laws and regulations that are completely alien and ridiculous to Brits. Bananas, Lightbulbs and Hoovers being just 3 of many.
We will no longer have to worry about Turkey joining the EU and having the right for hundreds of thousands being able to then simply walk through the green lane into Britain.
We will be able to set our own tax rules instead of being subservient to the EU who want to “harmonise” the rate of VAT.
We will once again be able to help out British companies if they are in trouble. The EU single market rules discourage governments from giving financial support to private companies, so those stupid rules meant we were unable to help our own workers when Tata Steel’s UK plants needed it.
The end of the EU’s hated Common Fisheries Policy! This unfair quota system has only forced up prices for consumers, forced fishermen to dump millions of dead fish back in the sea and decimated national fishing fleets, especially ours!
No more being forced to increase the number of those accursed, ugly and useless Wind Turbines!. Britain alone is meant to get 15% of its power from them by 2020 and would be at risk of legal action if it failed.
YEAH!! We can have our blue passports again. Okay, maybe not the old type lovely hard cased blue ones, but as long as it is no longer EU burgundy, it can be turquoise blue for all I care! Bring it on! Anyone with a blue passport should have their own walk through lane at all of our airports/ports!!
(Yes, before you say it, "Little Englander" mindset).
No more British taxpayers subsidising the EU Foreign Aid programme. It spends exactly as much as the UK government.
We can stop gnashing our teeth at the EU directive to get rid of our fridges by us now being forced to pay for the service for disposal when before that, we could take it to our local landfill and see a giant crusher make short work of it.
Hopefully no more local council drives to get us to recycle more of our rubbish courtesy of the EU threats to fine them, and they in turn using the exact same threats to householders. Begone ugly, Red, Blue, Green, Brown Wheelie bins. They are a blight and an eyesore in the front gardens and pavements of household properties in Britain.
No more funding of the cost of £130 million a year to move those idiots from Brussels to Strasbourg every month for just four days! All to placate the ruddy French.
And finally, a thousand curses on the EU for making us get rid of our lovely lightbulbs and replace them with low energy bulbs, which DO NOT come anywhere near offering the same level of illumination.
Anyone else think of good reasons to leave?.
I would be equally interested if Remainers would give the same amount of reasons to stay, so that we may digest the information and agree or disagree, just as you will no doubt do with the above.
