The post you are reporting:
Those are the very points made in Reg's #1 Howard.
The EU already means 'jobs', why else would the strength or weakness of the Euro matter as it does?
The EU invests extensively in transport infrastructure across Europe and beyond, it does this in part to improve the reach of EU manufacturers.
The EU offers much in the way of research in and the regulation of Health matters.
If ever the UK was to engage with Language teaching, our being a part of the polyglot EU would be more of a beneficial two-way street.
In many sectors wages have to be competitive across Europe, we tend to hear only about the influx of cheap labour, but that is not the whole story.
Two other points remain, to do with our half-way house involvement with the greater EU.
If we were more of a team player, we might adopt some of the much better methodologies employed in the work place across Europe;trades unions on company boards, less of a wage differential in the work place, less reliance on unwarranted bonuses etc. etc. Many of the regulations that come from the EU are of benefit, often of more benefit to those lower down the wage scale, but railed against loudly and regularly in certain sections of the popular press. (all part of the 'game' of are-we-in-or-are-we-out)
A great many of the good ideas that come from the EU would have never been given house room, but for our membership, and many of those and a whole lot else would never be forthcoming from our own Partys of Government.
