Evidently you are more aware of the intricate workings of the EU than i am, i even actually had to pause for a moment to remember what CAP stood for :redface:. Common Agricultural Policy, phew and without google help.
In the EU or out of it our closest trading partners are with other EU nations but we have no string pulling ability if we are not included. And subsidy works both ways surely. I know that currently the UK has the biggest projected economy over the next 25yrs of all EU nations so it can't be a bad thing right?.
And then i have to wonder why it is that apart from the BNP and UKIP, no other party is suggesting we pull out.
Aww, modest as always Sir Mitchy.
Not sure what to do about the string-pulling - it occurred to me, too. I think our trade is important to them, so we'd still be able to be part of the single market - but yep, might not have so much influence...altho we officially only have 1/27th of the EU's influence on trade decisions anyway. Not sure how Norway copes - but I guess we could hammer out our own terms with them?
