The Case for Europe (and Against Leaving): Part 4: It's the Final Countdown

(I had planned on writing a post on immigration and something more detailed for my last post on the referendum but time has run out).

--> The EU referendum is fast approaching yet the debate seems to be as facile as ever. The central arguments for a Brexit, such as they are, appear to centre around immigration and the idea that we are being ruled by those we have had no say in electing. I will try and tackle the immigration issue later but right now I want to focus on the idea that we are being ruled from on high by people we didn’t vote for.
