At the moment, I'm pretty anti the EU. Would we be better off economically in or out of it?
No-one knows, it could go either way, and any, how much does it matter?  Especially if you compare it with other issues.
This country is very rich, so if we lost half our wealth and half our income, we would be absolutely fine.  The issue is, of course, about the distribution of that money.
It would be so easy to tax and legislate for much more equality of income and assets - though of course, politically quite hard, unless the people got hold of the media.  Then most people would be quite comfortable economically.
It would also help the planet if consumption fell.  And if work were distributed more equally, a lot of people working too hard wouldn't have to.

So let's leave the EU.
