- Leaving the EU will not solve the migration crisis, but rather make the problem come to the UK, becuase of the border controls will move form Calais in France to Dover in the UK. 
- The European Arrest Warrant allows British citizens to be sent abroad and charged for crimes in foreign courts, often for minor offences. Exit would stop this.
- Britain’s links with the EU are holding back its focus on emerging markets – there is no major trade deal with China or India, for example. Leaving would allow the UK to diversify its international links. 
- The danger to jobs has been over-exaggerated. By incentivising investment through low corporation tax and other perks Britain can flourish like the Scandinavian countries outside the EU.]]> 2017-02-09 09:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hannawidth/v9mwn8njs6ft/wish/152714856 Five arguments against Brexit: hannawidth https://padlet.com/hannawidth/v9mwn8njs6ft/wish/152714960 - Too many of Britain’s laws are made overseas. UK courts must become sovereign again.
- Almost 50% of Britain’s exports go to other EU countries.
- Serious criminals who convict offences in Britian, could only once be fled abroad once thanks to the European Arrest Warrant.
- About 3 million jobs are linked to the EU and will ble plunged into uncertainty if voters plump for exit, as businesses would be less likely to invest if the country was outside Europe.
- Banks will flee the UK and the City of London collapse if Britain votes for exit, because the trading advantages of being inside the EU help boost banks' profits.

When will Brexit actually take place? hannawidth https://padlet.com/hannawidth/v9mwn8njs6ft/wish/152715044 After notification, the UK and the other States have a two-year window to negotiate and settle on an agreement. With 3 million EU nationals living, working, and studying in the UK, and 2 million UK nationals doing same in the rest of EU, the negotiation process is going to be a challenge. Once a final settlement is agreed upon (every EU member accepts the terms), the UK will no longer be part of the EU. If no agreement is reached within two years, the UK and EU must agree to extend the deadline, or the UK will depart without an agreement.]]> 2017-02-09 09:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hannawidth/v9mwn8njs6ft/wish/152715044
