I voted to stay out when we had the first referendum in 1975, but I will be voting to stay in this time. I don't like the xenophobic 'Little Englander' tone of the pro-Brexit campaigners.
And I don't buy the argument that we don't have democratic control of our affairs. We do elect MEPs, our Government and PM who is on the 27 member Head of State council, and the PM nominates our EU Commissioners. I think Big Business and multi-national companies influence Government decisions more than ordinary voters anyway, and as an individual country we have less chance of regulating multi-nationals than we would as part of the EU.
