Pros and cons of the UK leaving the EU

[BlasterBates]

The simple rule for running a proper economy is to marginalise socialist influence (in other words entitlement). The EU is now being run by unaccountable socialists obsessed with feathering their own nests instead of creating and encouraging businesses.

There's no EU rule which stipulates how much benefit you pay. Check out Romania and the Czech Republic. It's fully in the hands of the government, if you don't want to pay social security, you don't have to pay. Obviously those in the Eurozone need to bail out the the profligate spenders, but that's only to protect their private banks who have leant way too much, not as people to suggest to save the Euro, so far it has cost nothing, they're just guarantees. Even without the Euro there would be a IMF and probably EU bail out, just simply to prevent a Lehman's style collapse of the banking system. The reason why the French and Germans are doing it is because the French banks are highly exposed, which would also bring the German banking system crashing down.

In fact it's the EU who are pushing Greece to cut their social spending.
