Some interesting points... but one you mention there about labour laws really irks me with the remain campaign
They always claim without the EU we wouldn't have holiday pay, workers rights... blah blah. Now I can see the point with some of it, so that there isn't a race to the bottom with countries trying to make their labour the cheapest... but there is absolutely nothing that stops any party putting this stuff on a manifesto and then enacting it if elected.
If the concern is that we wouldn't get these protections without the EU, are they implying the public is too thick to vote for what's good for it, or the EU are enforcing policies that the UK electorate would never vote for and is therefore undemocractic?
