In case you've forgotten
The EEC was a good thing. It's grown in to the EU, which isn't.
The EU is run solely for the benefit of politicians.
We had a referendum over here a few weeks ago re. an EU treaty. It was soundly thrashed. The political reaction so far has been 'sod the electorate, we go ahead anyway'.
You have a chance to change that. Unlike any of the other poor sods trapped in the EU, you actually get to have a say in this. As it was 76 years ago, we Dutch once again look to the west in the hope of liberation. The UK leaving would open the floodgates and end this political powerfest.
Forget the bs about the economy or migration, nobody knows exactly how that's going to pan out, and anyone whos says they do, lies. This is about sovereignty. Nothing more, nothing less.
Take the power back.

As set of politicians that you can actually elect or send home every five years.
Massive difference, that.

Our whole second chamber is entirely unelected
There is no mechanism to send them home, even if they're corrupt, even if they're so mad they cant do their job anymore

The set of politicians that actually care about being re-elected by the UK populace?
The ones that got the largest amount of votes in local elections?
The ones that attend surgery's and have to meet with the voters to discuss issues?
Those politicians that are within egg throwing range?
Too bloody right.

you dont think your Euro MPs care about being reelected?
They certainly got the largest amount of votes, and in a much fairer, more proportional voting system
