hurry? Want to skip the detail? Here’s A ONE MINUTE
SUMMARY... EU membership means that Britain has transferred so many powers to
European level that we are largely ruled by the EU. If we stay in, we will not just be legally unable to take back these
powers and govern ourselves. We will be committed to having even more of our
lives run at EU level. (This is known as economic and political integration, or ‘ever closer union’). The current membership agreement, the Treaty of Lisbon, has words which
sound like it is possible to take powers back, but after looking closely at
the EU legal system, this is an illusion. The only way that
Britain can get back lost powers is to leave the EU. |
