    While I see his points, I think he failed pretty hard when he tried to point out how the European Union is more dependent on the UK than the other way around based on the trade deficit the UK has with Europe. (This kind of argument worries me and leads me to ask if he understands what he is talking about). I found the arguments of William Cash the strongest of the opposition in this debate, while Nedvidek and Farage held better presentations I find that the best argument for Brexit is the concept of parliamentary sovereignty. I think it is highly doubtful that the UK would profit economically from leaving the Union but I'd also say that this not what it should be about. But arguing on that point is very unreasonable and I don't see how the opposition wins here.

    +TheHanspeter8 Why's it wrong? They sell way more to us than us to them (e.g. Germany's car industry is massively independent on British consumers). That's why a free trade deal is absolutely certain, it's a win-win. Think that's the point he was making.

    Marco Burattin really? In what way? For starters the UK will stop paying 50million quid a day. We will stop being pushed around and told what we can and cannot do Set our own laws and we will be able to have trade deals with the rest of the world including with our real allies like Canada and Australia. What makes you think we're better in? Try to find a point that isn't negative this time. For example, ''we will lose 4million jobs'' or ''we will lose influence in the world'' or any of that bullshit we keep hearing about.

    Unequivocally the most unattractive trait in a politician is their inability to admit failure and it couldn't be worse than this guy. The moment he said that the tory-libdem government was one of the best things to have happened to this country since the war, I wept. The only thing that can explain this position is the assumption that he holds belief in a deeply greed-driven ideology. His statement is profoundly offensive, given that the tory legacy are things like increased homelessness, increased use of food banks, underfunded NHS, exploitation of migrants leading to compression of wages etc. What may be reasonable tuition fees to him, is 30 years of debt to the majority of university students. They increased tuition fees, scrapped grants, increased VAT, cut the welfare budget, cut the police budget etc. all in the name of what? Deregulating the very same banks that almost had us bankrupt in 2008 as a result of weak regulation, fail to collect corporate tax and lower income tax on the rich from 50 to 45p. How is this a government that serves the people? Oh right, I forgot, you'll ask them a question on a referendum. And what happened to all the stuff about eastern Europeans coming here taking jobs? The right-wing doesn't seem to be complaining when the eastern European immigrant is rich and supports their position, but we already knew that long ago with all the Russian oligarchs living in west London.
