Europe. In or out?

[scuberry]

saw this in the papers this morning:

1. NORWAY
Non-EU Norway is the most prosperous country in the world for the SEVENTH year running.
2. SWITZERLAND
Switzerland came in second place for the third year in a row,thanks to a strong economy and great governance.
3. DENMARK
Danes boast good governance and exemplary education,although they're let down by a poor health score.
4. NEW ZEALAND
The most prosperous non-European nation,New Zealand performed so well thanks to its impressive social cohesion.

Not Spin but FACT !!
Why Do we need the EU and all its red tape ? Wake up and smell the coffee and stop believing all the EU hype,there is life without the "Club"

Denmark is in the EU.

probably more anti-EU than Britain. Their most popular party is the equivalent of UKIP

True Lymes, but Scuba posted it - I'm simply stating the fact that Denmark is in the EU. The post implied that it wasn't.

Denmark is in the EU.

But like us Denmark is not in the Euro. My concern is that if we vote to stay in, we will be forced to join the Euro.

I wouldn't disagree with that J the way I see it if we vote to stay in , Brussles will see it as a chance to take further control and influence over the U K

Immigrants driving up the previous wave of immigrants is what created the American dream. A lot of economists say one of the causes of the great depression stopping immigration because it stopped upward mobility.
I have said throughout that it is very difficult for low skilled workers. But whether they like it or not they can't go on expecting to earn high wages for low skills. We live in a globalised world where goods and labour can be had elsewhere. People can rail against it as much as they like but they aren't going to stop it I'm afraid.

When you say we live in a global economy and goods can be had elsewhere more cheaply, the child labour sweat shops of India spring to mind.
As for the point about wave upon wave of immigrants driving up the previous wave of immigrants, I wouldn't shout that out too loudly, some people might see that as an own goal by someone whose trying to sell the remain idea.

I think they may try it, but even if the vote is to Remain, there is a seething resentment in many countries as to the way this EU is heading

I keep reading it's a nothing vote as remaining is a dead cert and it's 4-1 that we will leave.

That's what they said about Scotland voting for independence.

The EU and Big Pharma are VERY cosy, which is not a healthy situation at all. Leads to all kind of corruption and conflicting interest issues. Very bad for democracy - and yet another reason why I'm unequivocally OUT. Joining the EU is just so intrinsically and innately wrong on so many levels for me. I trust their agenda even less than our own politicians, and that's saying something!
