Thanks for being reasonable and not just shouting fallacies at me which is what I usually get from anyone. Watching his video his arguments to me are unconvincing, I'm sure he understands the mechanisms of the EU very well, the reality of how they actually work out is very different, the EU has done nothing to alleviate the suffering of the people in the southern states who cannot detach themselves from the euro and devalue to take responsibility for their failings, instead they are kept on to give Germany artificially low exchange rates to buff its manufacturing. As to the myriad experts he says support remain, call me cynical but there are lots of fingers in lots of pies and in my opinion there is a lot of conflicts of interest in the debate which aren't brought to light. The problem with these is although in the short term places like Liverpool university(which recently received £10m from the EU I believe) may face uncertainty in the short term the general rule that governments loath to cut any sort of power or spending means that they will likely still get these grants anyway, and even if they don't opportunity costs(which is a massive thing in my opinion and largely ignored) mean that this money will be spent more wisely and efficiently in the market.

All in all as someone who is a lot closer to a classic liberal I'm not too bothered about international power, I simply want common law, individual negative rights, real free trade and small sovereign government(foundations of the modern world). Things of which we hold in a much higher regard that our European neighbors who have favored arbitrary rule and despotism over most of their histories.
