Aren't you in reality just taking back 'central planning' authority and immigration policy from Brussels?

I'm sure I'm missing something big, but what?


Yes and No..

I suppose there is a major worry that big business ect will relocate out of the UK to continue get the benefits of the EU.

Earlier this morning there were rumours circulating that Morgan Stanley were moving 2000 jobs from London to Ireland and Frankfurt and that a large restaurant chain was closing down.

Both company's denied the rumours, but it shows that keeping confidence in the UK as a good place to do business is going to be very important...
