Reality Check: Have Leave campaigners changed their minds?
Leave says that the EU in undemocratic. But the EU is a democracy. It is certainly much more democratic than the British first-past-the-post and the house of Lords. Saying that the EU in undemocratic is just a meme.<p>Then there is the question about the UK contributions. The UK does get its money worth, by the profit made trading in one of the biggest markets in the world (and with the countries that have trade deals with that market). By the investment that flows to UK (the FDI). By being part of continent that is much more prosperous then it would be otherwise.<p>The UK needs the EU more than the EU needs the UK.<p>Leave says that the UK has too many migrants, but it has fewer migrants than Ireland, Austria, Norway, Switzerland. Roughly the same number as France and Germany.<p>The Leave camp doesn&#x27;t have a plan and is awfully misinformed as to how the world works. It is a populist movement and that is all there is to it.<p>Though to be fair, I would like to see a bit of compromise from the EU side of table. They are simply too intransigent.<p>In theory everyone in Spain can move to Malta. Of course this would never happen in practice. But if the people in Malta are worried. The EU should consider providing them the legal means to deal with that hypothetical scenario. Instead of saying, its free movement, and that&#x27;s it.
