JayFax,
My primary argument is always lack of control over Immigration. Lack of control over our own laws, that the UK joined a 6 country European Economic area, that became a 28 country political union... the British people didn't agree to a 28 country political union, nor did they agree to let Brussels create the majority of the new laws affecting our country.
We have 73 MEP's, there are 751 MEP's in total our share of the vote is only 9.72%... yet the majority of new laws affecting our country are not made in the UK, they're made in the EU. It's not conspiracy theory to suggest that the EU is becoming one big regional government with more and more power over it's constituent countries. If the British people could have seen the way the EU would turn out in 2018 back in 1975 when they voted for something completely different, there isn't a chance in hell they've have voted for it.
Nor would they have voted for sociopaths like Tony Blair happy to flood the country with immigrants to compete against the British people on housing, school places, hospital waiting lists etc
The Elite have slowly given our country away. It's laws, it's borders, it's corporations... and to top it all off our identity is being diluted by demographic replacement due to our lower fertility rate. A fertility rate that's lower because excessive inflation caused predominantly by excessive demand means most British people who want to work can't afford to have 2 or more children.
The economic side is secondary to me. I'd only rather be poor than lie down to the way the country is changing. In 30 - 40 years from now our culture and way of life is going to be changed beyond all recognition due to a certain religion. There isn't an economic argument that overrules that for me.
Most British people are struggling on wages that have not risen in real terms for decades. That's real terms, to keep up with the excessive cost of living. They already feel poor, they couldn't care less if we lose 10% or 20% of trade with the EU... common sense tells us that after an initial hit the economy will recover and grow and we'll have control.
But the elite have done everything possible to thwart Brexit, they're playing with fire... and inviting in extreme right wing parties... and if there's a massive economic downturn like the 1930's when there was only 2 Billion people on the planet... with a population now 3 times that. What do you think is going to happen if the majority feel like their voice is being ignored? That their country isn't there's anymore? That they have nothing to lose as they have no job anyway?
