The European Union has been around in one form or another since the end of World War 2. The UK joined in the early 1970s and since then has been able to sell its goods and services to the other member states, and UK citizens have been able to live and/or work and visit other European countries as equals.
I find it hard to believe that anybody would want to change that. Anti-EU types would tell you how much it costs the UK to be a member but they don't know how much money we make out of trading with the EU – and don't know where we could sell our goods and services instead.
Withdrawing from EU would damage industry and cost jobs. Some of our firms might have to move to the continent to keep on trading there. The status of British people living and/or working on the continent would be changed, and British tourists would be told to stand in the ‘other queue’ having been transformed into foreigners.
I am content to be a Welsh European and would hope to remain in that happy state. Whatever problems arise in Europe are easily sorted if only we stay in the spirit of the thing and stop being a pain in the neck arguing about the rules all the time.
