• Actually, the opposite is true. The more centralised the EU becomes, the more power we surrender to it and the less influential we become in the world.
  
  
• Britain still has a seat on the UN Security Council and is a member of over 100 international organisations.
  
  
• However, we lost our independent seat on the World Trade Organisation in 1973 when we surrendered it to the EU.
  
  
• The EU's ambition is to have a seat in its own right on the UN Security Council, taking over those of Britain and France.

Being a part of the EU makes Britain less influential, not more so.
