Do you also want the EU army ?
At present we have the best deal of all
We don’t have to be part of the ashenden area
We don’t have to adopt the Euro
We get a rebate on our contributions
Because of the above we have the lowest contributions as a percentage of GDP
We have freedom of movement across the Eurozone
We are part of the largest trading bloc in the world
As a result of the above we are party to numerous fre trade and other advantageous agreements
We enjoy a labour supply of hard working Europeans who do the jobs our citizens do not want to do
We have the power of veto
Leaving the EU will leave us poorer and less important on the world stage in every scenario and risks the integrity of the Union
If that is what you crave for so be it but don’t expect me to agree with you

Most of those are reasons why we voted leave.
