Should Britain leave the E.U. ???
I see that another Brexit argument cannot be reconciled with the facts;
Brexit argues that the EU will push the TTIP and that's been one of their main arguments for leaving, but today we learn that:-

Quote:
François Hollande said on Tuesday he would reject the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership “at this stage” because France was opposed to unregulated free trade.

More interestingly that;
All 28 EU member states and the European parliament will have to ratify TTIP before it comes into force.
Which isn't looking likely as the more left-leaning states will no doubt be scrutinizing the TTIP...
But here's the interesting part - Brexit portray this as some sort of amazing Braveheart-esq struggle for 'freedom', but in reality without Europe, the Tories would sell us down the river in a heartbeat;
Quote:
The question marks over TTIP are a setback for the British prime minister, David Cameron, who last year vowed to put “rocket boosters” under the talks as he described TTIP as “a deal we want”

Just thought that's an interesting example of how the EU protects British citizens from their wretched elitist government. Brexit just looks worse and worse.
