The only small "businesses" (if you can call them that) who want to remain in the EU are IT contractors
a) This is great for the grocer because he can reduce the opening hours because no-one is coming into his shop
b) This is bad for the grocer because he's lost 20000 customers.

If you want less investment, less business and lower standard of living then indeed leaving the EU would be a good thing.

The power of vested Interests on the EU
it is little surprise when the CBI lend their pretty well unqualified support to Britain remaining in the EU and it is also little surprise that IT contractors with their fat low tax earnings also unquestioningly support Britain keeping with the status quo.
Calls for Jean-Claude Juncker to quit over tax avoidance deals | Daily Mail Online
The CBI itself a recipient of £800,000 in funds from the EU represents all the great and good of the corporate world. Most of these companies prosper by virtue of the complexity of the red tape that keeps smaller companies out of their markets.
These corporates are also along with government departments the biggest employer of IT contractors.
It is no wonder IT contractors are so pro to keeping the UK within the EU. "Sod everyone else" I hear you say! For the rest of us an exit would help us all.Tags: None
