Couple more reasons to be very much against the EU at this point in time:

1. TTIP agreement, which would pull down a lot of (food)safety laws in Europe to the idiotic standards of the United States, so they may sell their products here. It would also enable US companies to sue entire European governments if any laws are passed that affect their profits. The EU is currently wanting to accept this agreement, which is absolutely preposterous. I'm also pretty sure SOPA and all those internet related spy laws are embedded in there somewhere.

2. This one isn't relevant to the UK, but it is to the Netherlands. The European Stability Mechanism is something many EU member states are a part of. This ESM is meant to offer financial support to EU countries in need, such as the recent clusterfuck surrounding Greece. The billions of Euros being pumped into Greece come from this fund. The fund, in turn, requests money from its member countries to pay for all this. Problem is, there is no cap on how often money may be requested and there is no cap on how much. The request does not have to come with any reason, and as a member country you may NOT refuse to contribute. In other words, if the EU decides it needs 100 trillion Euros, member countries are obligated to pay their share without questions. This, of course, is some massive bullshit.

The EU is a corrupt piece of shit that's being run by people who would bring entire countries to the brink of bankruptcy in order to fill their own bank accounts. The Greece crisis proved as much. And now TTIP is going to fuck over the rest of Europe for the sake of profits and under the table payments.
