 My reasons for remaining in the EU are quite simple: Better the devil you know. Extrication is so difficult. It's not so bad being a member. I would rather be at the table. I don't trust the British government to govern Britain all on its own. I would prefer England, Ireland Scotland and Wales to stay together. In my lifetime I have enjoyed the benefits of being a member of the EU. I enjoy the lifestyle that the EU has offered us. I have embraced an EU membership in that an allegiance has been solidified and that the security of Europe might be preserved. I feel stronger in being allied to Europe. I understand that we are an island, and that the Brexiteers think we can survive on our own. But to me, why go there? We have no empire, the world order is fragile. We are safe, well, as safe as can be. Why put this in jeopardy?
