Two senior Conservatives have come out in support of the UK's continued membership of the European Union.
Former minister Nick Herbert claims that leaving this egregious political bloc would be a "jump into the void", while the Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, is reported to have said that it would "cut the country off from the rest of the world and limit the freedom of young people to study and find jobs in the European Union".
What is this other than scaremongering ? Why do these Europhiles not tell us what the tangible benefits of membership are, rather than attempting to scare us with vague, unsupported and frankly risible remarks that are devoid of any actual content ? The simple fact is that remaining in the European Union will bring still more rules and regulations which stifle innovation; it will bring, regardless of anything that the Europhiles say, the 'ever closer union' so beloved of Europe's predominantly socialist leaders and the UK will inevitably be encompassed by it; it will continue to bring, inevitably, vast flows of population from poorer nations to the UK, leading to enormous social pressures and ultimately to civil strife. The UK will find itself ever-more subservient to the will of the Brussels (and Strasbourg, given the imbecilic dual arrangements that exist) executive, to European foreign policy, social policy, monetary policy, economic policy and so on.
Pro-Europeans such as Nick Herbert and Nicky Morgan say nothing about any of this. They confine their campaigning to issuing statements designed to frighten sections of the population, rather than giving them any positive reasons to remain in the Union; the only possible reason for taking this approach is that they have no positive reasons to cite. Remaining in the European Union is a protectionist policy while leaving it would be a clear indicator that the UK is genuinely open for business with the rest of the world.
The only conclusion is that the UK should, indeed must, leave.
