What credible justification is there for the UK’s very costly membership of a political entity to ga

The UK taxpayer pays a very high price for the enablement of some UK businesses to benefit from tariff free trade with the EU…...naturally, if businesses prosper, then so does the economy, as employment prospects are greatly improved, more tax revenue generated...etc etc………….however, why is it deemed necessary for a supranational Parliament; common currency; open borders; ‘ever closer union’; EU citizenship etc….. in order to benefit from tariff free trade???

Why wasn’t just a Regional Free Trade agreement formed ?……….it would serve the same purpose of expanding multi-country preferential trade for the stimulation of economic growth WITHOUT any supranational political , FoM and legislative primacy nonsense……..and of course, without requiring huge amounts of subsidies from the likes of the UK and Germany.

Obvious answer - the establishment of all the trappings required for the formation of The United Soviet States of Europe, ( the politburo already exists in the form of the Commission).

 

Because trade is the carrot, not the goal.
It's the bait.

Let us rule you and you will be richer.
Only we won't. They will.
