Sir, Brexit would allow the UK to choose its own social and fiscal rules and to control access to the labour market by migrants. As the UK is neither part of Schengen nor the euro, and is doing better than most of the other countries on the continent, why would leaving the EU suddenly be a problem?
Brexit would be the trigger for a total renegotiation of the EU treaties by all European peoples, and would allow the EU to be transformed into a common market with supple confederal structures which would be more effective, freer and more prosperous.
This new Europe would cost much less for the UK, which would save the £7 billion per year net it currently spends on EU membership.
The City would preserve its international financial supremacy; there is no reason to have any confidence in declarations about the negative effects of Brexit, which would be good for Britain and good for Europe.
