I’d rather stay than CM2.0.
To me it is pretty much the same as remaining with the exception that we are removed from the representation and decision process. We still have to pay but we don’t know how much.
The worrying thing is the MPs are going to vote it through before we they even find out the details of the deal. There are lots of vague concepts in there, like we will pay but not how much, there is safeguarding but how will that work, we can set our own laws - can we to what extent. Pretty sure that when this sort of thing was discussed many months ago all the processes were caveated with, if the EU agrees - so we can make our own law, if the EU thinks that one is acceptable.
Take how much we pay in, the paper suggests 50% but I’ve seen 88% quoted too. And what is that 50% of? Over the last two years we have been told we must not refer to the £350m per week as that is not how much we actually pay.
What the EU want us to pay - £18.6bn
What we pay after Maggie’s rebate - £13bn
After EU money spent on public sector - £9bn
So what is the 50% mentioned in CM2.0 - £9.3bn or £4.5bn?
Cheers,
Nigel |
