Hi Donna,
Welcome to PG! This seems to nail your colours pretty firmly to the mast. I'm not sure I understand 'don't let them take it back' - what is 'it'?

Thank you for the warm welcome
The European Union makes between 75 and 80% of all the laws in the UK and the people of the UK have never voted in any form for EU laws to be British laws.
There is going to be an In / Out referendum in the UK over whether or not to join the Eurozone properly, even though it might look like that the people have never had a say, therefore it is illegitimate. You are right this piece does indeed nail my colours to the mast -- i want out, I think that Britain could be so much more if we were out of Europe.

I'm no great fan of the EU but, actually, about 10% of UK laws originate in the EU. The people of the UK voted to join the EU many moons ago - all else flows from that. There are many things "the people" have never had a say about. That things go ahead anyway, does not make them illegitimate, otherwise Tony Blair, for one, would be imprisoned.
If we were out of Europe Britain could be so much more
what? Likely to win the African Nations Cup?
