8 REASONS WHY VOTE REMAIN IN EU
Like most of the people in the UK, I have found myself pushed and pulled in different directions
on whether to remain or leave the EU. The more I listen, discuss and analyse the arguments,
the more confused I become. As the voting day dawns, none of us is any wiser about
the outcomes of remaining or leaving the EU. In the end, none of us knows the
answers. However, as I will have to vote, I have decided to go for VOTE REMAIN.
Here are the ten reasons that have led me to vote IN.
Positive attitude and perception: We need a strong
Vote Remain result to show we are a positive,
inclusive country that belongs in Europe and
that we reject fear, hate and division. Let us
not be driven by the negative arguments
of exploiting fear and hatred of foreigners,
refugees and immigrants to justify leaving
the EU. All UK problems cannot be laid at the
door of immigrants, refugees and the EU.
We are stronger together: The EU is not
perfect, but it does a lot for us, and we
do a lot for it. There are huge economic
benefits of being in, versus the giant
problems and risks of leaving the EU. The
EU is a community of countries, and Britain
both contributes and benefits from being a
member. That’s how communities work. We
are stronger, better off and safer in Europe than we would be
out on our own.
Rights for workers and all: Europe has done a lot for employees
through Equal Pay, Holidays, Time Off Work, Maternity Rights,
Fairness at work, Parental leave Discrimination, Sickness rights,
Safety at work and Healthcare on Holiday. Let us safeguard these
by voting REMAIN. Consumers are also protected when buying
goods while disabled and LGBT rights are enshrined in the law.
1. Stronger economy: The EU is by far the UK’s biggest trading partner.
EU membership brings economic security, peace and stability. If the UK
voted to leave the EU, the resulting economic shock would risk higher
prices of some household goods A vote to leave could mean a decade
or more of uncertainty. Voting Remain IN the EU will give economy and
businesses more certainty and confidence for continued growth.
2. Change from within: The UK is a strong, independent nation. Our EU membership magnifies the UK’s
ability to get its way on the issues we care about and helping the EU change from within. This can only happen
if we vote yes to REMAIN in the EU.
3. Improving lives: EU membership means you and your family have the right to live, work or study abroad in
any of the 27 other member countries. It also guarantees many employment rights. It is in you and your family’s
best interests that the UK remains in the EU.
4. Immigration, safety and security: The UK is not part of the EU’s border-free zone. We control our own borders
which gives us the right to check everyone, including EU nationals, arriving from continental Europe. In future,
new EU migrants will not have full access to certain benefits until they have worked here for up to four years.
The Government will have greater powers to take action where there is abuse of our immigration system.
