Miliband also failed because he's the Oxford educated millionaire son of a Marxist immigrant who looks and sounds weird and is perceived to be out of touch with the everyday concerns of the people he purports to represent.

...the EU and its benefit to the UK...
I don't know what these benefits are.
I do however welcome a referendum on Europe now though.


... If the EU was a bad thing, there wouldn't be other countries wanting in for a start.
How many people know anything substantial of the benefits? For far too long we have heard about stupid EU rules which turn out to be overblown and exaggerated scaremongering by the right wing press. Once a debate is underway, we will be told the benefits, just like we were before we originally joined. If the EU was a bad thing, there wouldn't be other countries wanting in for a start.
...The countries which want to join the EU are eastern European and Turkey which isn't even in Europe at all...

I have assumed that poor countries like Ireland and those Yugoslav ones want to welch on the clever, hardworking Germans and English.
...The UK is a small country, with a very dense population...
...an almost non-existent manufacturing industry (thanks maggie)...
Norway and Switzerland are both doing very nicely thank you outside the EU and there's no suggestion that they wish to join.
The workers of China 'stole' the manufacturing industries of Britain, USA and Australia because they're willing to work on slaves' wages.

The situation is such that if we lost our financial sector to somewhere else in the EU, we'd have what left?
To say that EU membership offers no advantage is intellectually dishonest.
Nothing that a union recruiting drive can't fix.
There are no benefits. The UK would never export much beef to the USA; they have enough of their own. London is a world financial centre despite the EU, not because of it.
The countries which want to join the EU are eastern European and Turkey which isn't even in Europe at all. They all want to join for the handouts. It will just mean more people for the British taxpayer to subsidise. Norway and Switzerland are both doing very nicely thank you outside the EU and there's no suggestion that they wish to join.
...The UK set itself up as a gateway to America....
