  As taxation on financial services kicks in, more and more financial city type will stop supporting EU membership.
  
  They didn't give a toss that the working man was having his wages decimated by
  EU membership
  
  But now its them in the firing line they are starting to crow.
  
  The only powers Cameron is trying get back from the EU, is the parts that effect the city of London, his friends, and masters the rich

  the cost of pulling out would be a tiny fraction of the money we pay in, i wished i had listened more to tony benn at the time of the referendum.

  If I remember correctly, for every £1 we pay in we get 72p back.
  
  So, for the sake of argument...
  
  The one vast improvement that could be made is to limit the paying over to about 30-40p (for each present £1) and live with an obligation to distribute the 60-70p or so as we see fit.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Tom
  
  You are forgetting the other costs of membership
  
  Compliance with all the regulations spewing from the EU parliament
  
  Energy bills up 18% to comply with eu green policy's. For one
