If by the UK being part of the EU both they can gain both politically and financially as it suits the purposes of the likes of the Wall Street banks then I'd say that was reason enough to say that on balance they are likely to benefit. The establishment are only ever going to vote in their own interests for their post political career money making schemes.
TTIP was the reason the USA wanted the UK in the EU, The UK will never sign a trade deal like that outside of the EU. Inside the EU they could just shrug and say, nothing to do with us. As it stands now it would actually be debated in the House of Commons and us plebs might want a say in what is agreed; hence the reason the vast majority of MP's were so pro-remain.
Face it being in the EU was about selling the UK down the river whist rafting along in their gold plated boats. The EU is economically in the tulipter and is getting worse, there can be no other reason to want to remain.Comment

The EU might be facing difficulties. But the UK debt is the largest of all EU countries. I reckon EU will put up interest rates long before the UK ever does."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by GJABS View PostI don't think so. The "establishment" (which includes both Obama and Clinton) all want the UK to stay in the EU, because it suits their big-business chums and satisfies their craving for power...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Oh wait, they are not ready to say it for some reason, so they have not done full analysis, but yet they are making decisions going contrary to what was PROMISED big time?
That's not democracy, this isn't even competent government.Comment

rUK less the Scottish deficit, 69-15 = tulip loads
