  42. The money we pay to the EU, some of it comes back to the UK in terms of investments in poorer communities and the economic benefits of paying to be a member of that club outweigh the disadvantages. It's the UK government that could do something about those problems if they have the political will. The austerity programme they insist on is theirs not Europe's and the tax cuts that cause a squeeze on public services are a UK government decision not Europe's. (Portugal recovered from the banking crash without any austerity programme) It's convenient for the UK government to let the EU take the blame for everything. You'd find if we came out on a hard Brexit with the Tories in power we'd still have the same crap government that won't do anything about the growing gap between the rich and the poor because basically they represent the rich, though they are careful not to say so. They are sponsored an supported by rich vested interests and they do their bidding in Parliament. They also have their own snouts in the trough. Where do they go when their political careers are over? Director of this, that, and the other company. You have to look at the overall picture, not just one aspect of it. P.S Some of the leadership contenders in the Tory party are connected to companies that have been making a killing out of the current Brexit uncertainty. The EU is not perfect (neither is the UK political system) but there is pressure from inside the EU for reform and we'd be better pressing for that from the inside along with others. On WTO terms the economy would take a hit far larger than anything they would save from EU membership fees.
