Petition updateSave the UK by forgetting BREXIT and Rejoining the EU#REMAIN: What Britain Gains by Staying within the EU
Dr. Michael HopkinsLondon, ENG, United Kingdom
15 Dec 2018

The list above that I wrote over a year ago, still stands. 

Voting to revoke Article 50 means:

* Tariff free access to the world's largest market

* Member of strongest political union in the world - especially needed as China flexes its muscles and USA weakens theirs

* Free and unlimted travel throughout 27 countries in Europe

* Access to information on likely terrorists and terrorist acts

* Continuing to keep the pound as its currency

* Allowed to become President of EU and influence its institutions

* With such weight can influence world political, economic, social, environmental issues rather than a sole country's voice

* Keep the UK intact and continue to allow Ireland to trade freely thereby avoiding future "troubles"

* Allows London to continue to be the world's financial capital with the wealth that brings to all UK citizens through taxation (12% of UK tax receipts)

* Allows free immigration and emigration for UK citizens (by the way UK can always control its borders since surrounded by the sea)

* Doesnt allow liars, fraudsters and hostile Governments to dictate what UK can do as was done with the 2016 referendum

* Outlying UK regions such as Wales, Northern England, Ireland to receive EU subsidies to help economic transition

I would be interested in any additional comments since all we seem to hear are stupid deals and stupid losses of freedom.  The UK remains a nation state, but leaving the EU or even a stupid deal will severely weaken it as Scotland and Nothern Ireland leave the union...and may Wales too!

PS Photo in the Alps of myself and my father who loved France and fought in the Second World War to save Europe.  If he were alive he would agree to all the above and much much more.
