EU Exit

EU exit: deception and exaggeration

Press quote (EurActiv)
09 May 2014

Despite the rise of UKIP and the potential electoral triumph for Eurosceptics in the coming EU elections, some commentators like Charles Grant (of the Centre for European Reform) believe an In/Out referendum is winnable.

They point to what they perceive is a knowledge deficit; that the Great British public are broadly against the EU because they’ve not been exposed to all the relevant facts. What is meant by ‘relevant facts’ are the economic arguments in favour of staying in the EU, which the defenders of Brussels accuse Eurosceptics of distorting with flawed analysis!
