Is the EU working for the UK?

Is the EU is working for Britain in the interests of our economy?

The unequivocal answer from Britains employers is YES!

8 out of 10 members of the Confederation of British Industry said #REMAIN the Chairman said “the view of our membership and our view based on the huge project we carried out over the last 10 months, in detail, with the help of McKinsey, with all the interviews, the view of businesses large and small is that it is overwhelmingly in our interests to remain in the European Union. It is a massive marketplace where we NEED to be engaged”

85% of British manufacturers want us to remain in the EU, according to a 2014 survey by the British manufacturers’ association EEF.

77% of the members of the Society of Motor manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) say that remaining in the EU is good for their businesses in the UK where over 700,000 Brits are employed.  Overwhelming support for EU membership across the board, with 88% of large SMMT member companies and 73% of SME members in favour of remaining.

Over half of members of the Federation of Small Business said they would want to stay in the EU.  Just 4 in 10 said they want to leave.

The head of the UK government’s export credit guarantee agency reports EU membership is “critical” for exporting around the world.

British Chambers of Commerce members overwhelmingly want the UK to stay in the EU, and think withdrawal would have “a bad impact on their future”

1% of the top 500 companies in the UK think that leaving the EU would be a good thing for the UK.

80% of finance industry leaders in the City want the U.K. to remain a member of the EU.

Foreign manufacturers in the UK from Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Huawei, Hitachi and other employers have all said they want the UK to remain in the EU.

Who wants you to vote to Leave the EU?   Boris Johnson, George Galloway, Nigel Farage, Vladiir Putin and some disgruntled Conservative MPs and former MPs.

 

If I were a betting man, I would look at the odds, weigh up the levels of evidence about who might know more about the UK economy, and my vote would definitely go to REMAIN IN the EU.

You will make up your own minds, but I am certain who I am most convinced by!
