Those on the vote to remain side of the argument have no positive arguments to put for continued membership, and their tactics are based on pure scare-mongering. Should the British be frightened into voting to remain, they should not imagine that the status quo in the EU will continue for long. The EU has clearly stated how it will forge ahead with deeper and deeper political and economic integration.

The EU ...

• intends to implement full economic and financial governance of its member states from Brussels
  
  
• wants to create its own armed forces to implement its own Foreign and Security Policy
  
  
• wants to import millions more migrants from Africa, the Middle East and beyond.

To think that Mr. Cameron's feeble and ineffectual 'reforms' will protect us from any of this is delusional. The EU has always been about creating a United States of Europe (in substance, if not yet in name) and after the British Referendum, whatever the result, that project will resume its momentum.

If the British people vote to remain in the European Union, it will be a decision they will soon come to regret. But Parliament should always retain its sovereignty, so a future British Government could make a unilateral decision to leave the EU.
