Leave campaign: Our opponents in the Remain campaign are always scaremongering. Our message is built on a hopeful future for Britain.
Leave campaign: The EU is letting TERRORISTS in and in a few years they'll be declaring THE FOURTH REICH!
Stronger In The EU
In January, LSESU became the first student body to vote on its official stance towards the UK’s membership of the EU (European Union). I was personally delighted that 91% of the voter turnout (nearly 400 students) was in favour of the UGM motion: it means that, in the coming weeks, LSESU can actively encourage LSE students to vote to remain.
We believe our society is stronger because of our membership of the European Union. The EU has changed lives, improved our rights both at home and at work, given young people opportunities and made LSE stronger.
What the EU has done for us is brilliant, and although it does need to change and evolve, I will proudly vote in favour of staying in the EU on 23rd June.

The UK is set to have a referendum on 23 June on whether or not to remain a member of the European Union. Here's a guide.
Excellent link to common EU Referendum questions, from the basics to the specifics. Everyone in the UK should be informed.
Survey finds Europe the most profitable region finding for SME's
Survey finds Europe the most profitable region finding for SME’s
Europe is viewed as the most profitable region for Small and Medium Enterprises [SME’s] to do business with. This is a key finding in a survey of SME businesses in late January this year by polling firm YouGov for QuoteSearcher, a niche insurance specialist. The summary of this finding is [click on image to enlarge], 64% of respondents cited Europe as the most profitable potential partner, with…

The letter urges Britons not to listen to 'a minority of managers from Britain's largest companies' who want Britons to stay in the EU
More than 200 bosses of small firms have signed an open letter urging Britain to leave the European Union.
The small company owners said they want the Britons to vote for “Brexit” to give them the “flexibility and adaptability are key to our long term success”.
The letter urges Britons not to listen to “a minority of managers from Britain’s largest companies” who want Britons to stay in the EU.
Last week, the heads of 36 FTSE 100 companies said in a letter organised by 10 Downing Street that Britons should vote to remain in the EU at the June 23 referendum.
The EU referendum campaign is fast emerging as a battle between large companies who are predominantly on the “in” side of the referendum and smaller firms which generally are on the side of “out”.
Leave campaigns accused of scaremongering on immigration
Responding to Iain Duncan Smith’s interview on immigration in the Guardian, Stronger In Deputy Director, Lucy Thomas, said:
“People have legitimate concerns about immigration that must be addressed but they are not served by Leave campaigners’ wild scaremongering.
"This rhetoric smacks of panic and desperation from a campaign without clear answers on how Britain can prosper outside Europe. It is particularly ironic that Iain Duncan Smith talks of Marine Le Pen, whose policy of leaving Europe he shares.
"We want fairness in our immigration system not a free for all, which is why the prime minister’s renegotiation is so important. And we want to preserve the jobs, low prices and investment which come from our economic partnership with Europe.
"Leave campaigners, by contrast, want to put our financial security at risk with a leap in to the dark.”

UK Environment and the EU - What if we leave?
Here goes, this will be just an overview of the facts and what is known / current policy’s. Obviously there is no definitive this will happen! So just read it over and use it to inform your opinion with other available sources on different issues. I tried to make it as un-biased as possible but my apologies if my opinion shines through. Historical In the 1970′s and 1980′s the UK had the rather unattractive reputation for being the ‘Dirty Man of Europe’. Why? We had the highest emissions in the EU for sulphur dioxide and our coastal waters were akin to open sewers due to putting human effluent into them as part of pollution control. (Rose 1990). This rule of ‘dilute and disperse’ also applied to the nuclear plant Sellafield (Freestone 1990).
Policy was dictated that action was only taken when incontrovertible damage had been proved or problems emerged. Something that proved very damaging when it came to BSE (Mad Cow disease) (BBC Crisis Review). So that’s what we were like before, so what has the EU done for us? Europe drove up standards in environmental policy and acted to prevent them from weakening the ‘europeanisation’ of UK policy has seen a complete reorganization of the government and the introduction of new regulatory agency’s and strict emissions limits with judicial process to support the implementation and enforcement of policy. Basically don’t follow the rules and you face the music. Which the UK did in 2013 over air pollution.
So most of the important UK environmental policies have emerged because of the EU. For example the EU’s bathing water directive we had to change approaches to sewage treatment and releases of nitrates so the quality of our coastal waters have improved. (Reports here) The EU also provides policy to protect UK wildlife under the Natura 2000. This directive obliges the government to provide protected wildlife zones. They now have well established eco-systems which also provide a range of services in the form of flood defenses, carbon sequestration and pollination (food). Nature protection is very popular with UK citizens (like you reading this right now!). In recent surveys 79% said domestic biodiversity loss was a very or fairly serious problem. (Survey). EU wide fishing restrictions have also had a dramatic effect in preventing overfishing. Last year cod and haddock showed a dramatic recovery. Thus the UK’s most important environmental policy’s come from the EU. This is not to say that without the EU the UK wouldn’t have similar policy’s but looking at historical data it is that push and support from the EU that created them as you can see from past examples. Future Efforts
The European commission has also called for legally binding targets for renewable energy by 2030. Meaning greener energy for UK if there was a vote to leave we would not have to for fill that legally binding target. So what if we leave? I can’t really answer that question because no-one has ever left before! But I can give examples where the UK government in the past has tried to block EU environmental policy’s: 1. Limiting imports of tar sands 2. Water down the energy directive 3. Pesticide ban that would protect bees With exception to climate change legislation the UK has failed to play a leadership role in an environmental policy field. If there was a no vote there is many questions regarding the cross border environmental concerns as well such as pollution, carbon emissions, biodiversity, and animal and plant diseases. The UK also recently announced a proposal to block researchers who receive government grants from using their results to lobby for changes to laws or regulations. Meaning that if ecologists who found out that new planning laws were harming wildlife would not be able to raise the issue in public, while climate scientists whose findings undermined government energy policy could have work suppressed. With the frequent attempts by UK ministers to weaken progressive environmental policy at the EU level and the on-going refusal to implement important air quality law suggests that if that external pressure from the EU goes policy will weaken. I hope reading this helped, remember to register to vote for the 23 June 2016!

THE EU REFERENDUM
TO PEOPLE IN THE UK
is it just me or is anyone else actually really terrified about the scary fact that the UK could actually leave the EU?? I don’t think that so many people understand the terrifying implications that a UK exit could mean, especially for many businesses (big and small), for so many academic institutions ranging from local funding for specialist equipment and technology right up to Erasmus which provides so many young people to experience life away from their own country and gives them valuable live experiences.
Also, just to mention and set the records straight on one of the main reasons why so many people want to leave the EU: immigration and being able to control our own borders.
if you’re one of these people- read this; at first, the thought of being able to control our own borders and to be able to pick who comes in to our country sounds great- right? I mean -no more people scrounging off of the government for benefits -we can deport all British Muslims because OBVIOUSLY all of them support ISIS…
BUT THERE’S A TWIST!!!! You see, at the moment, as one of the 28 member states of the European Union, which is currently going through a tough time with the amount of refugees coming through from Syria who are being forced out of their homes by the people who you hate so much (but don’t seem to mind when they’re torturing or killing others), well, you see, the thousands that are all in Calais right now would be in Dover and Kent if it weren’t for us being a member state of the European Union, due to the fact that the French government allow UK Officials to carry out checks in the migrant camps. That would result in 50,000 asylum seekers coming to Dover for their checks. NOW, some would argue that the system in place allowing the checks to happen in Calais (Le Touquet Treaty) would remain wholly unaffected by a Brexit as this is a bilateral agreement between France and the UK- the EU is not involved… BUT THERE’S ANOTHER TWIST You see, many French critics say that the treaty is unfair for France and as recently as August, the French government have reportedly had plans to scrap the treaty under Article 56 of the Vienna Convention by applying the general EU rules for terminating a treaty and it’s actually written in the treaty that the French government could decide to pull out at any time. So there’s that…
Finally- our MONEY!!!
Right now, as I write this, the Nominal UK GDP is £2,064,632,028.07 (IMF) which is the FIFTH largest economy in the world and per capita, the Nominal UK GDP is £30,907.38 (IMF) which is the fourteenth highest in the world.
According to a report by Credit Suisse, the UK’s economy could shrink by up to 2% as a result of a British exit from the EU. 2%!!! That would mean that our economy could possibly shrink to £2,023,339,387.51 which is over £41 BILLION! At this current moment in time, the UK Government spends 2% of our GDP on ‘General Government,’ which includes;
—Executive and legislative organs, —General services, —R&D General public services , —General public services n.e.c and —Transfers of a general character
and this equates to just over £141 per person in the UK!
As well as this, the EU would lose it’s second largest economy (after Germany) and would therefore become a lot less rich AND could also go from being the world’s largest economy (the EU has a collective GDP of £12,968,207,000.85) to shrinking to being smaller than America’s!
And that’s not all!
Thousands of jobs are at risk!
JP Morgan have threatened the UK with a cut of 19,000 jobs should the UK leave the EU due to regulations that the UK apply to as a member state. As well as this, HSBC would also cut 1,000 jobs from the UK as they would move the positions to Paris in order to stay part of the EU- but some have estimated that up to 100,000 banking jobs could be lost in order to stay in the EU!
Anyway, please share this around as I think it’s really important for the UK to stay part of the EU!

Winston Churchill speaking on 19 September 1946 in Zurich
We must re-create the European family in a regional structure called, it may be, the United States of Europe, and the first practical step will be to form a Council of Europe. If at first all the States of Europe are not willing or able to join the union we must nevertheless proceed to assemble and combine those who will and those who can.
Discorso di Winston Churchill a Zurigo il 19 settembre 1946
Dobbiamo ricostruire la famiglia dei popoli europei in una struttura regionale che potremmo chiamare Stati Uniti d'Europa, e il primo passo pratico consisterà nella creazione di un Consiglio d'Europa. Se, all'inizio, non tutti gli Stati d'Europa vorranno o saranno in grado di partecipare all'unione, dobbiamo ciò nonostante andare avanti e congiungere e unire gli Stati che vogliono e che possono.

Tomorrow’s technology, tomorrows opportunities
Digital Agenda for progress in EU technology!
The days of paying punitive charges for using your mobile phones on the continent will soon be over! The European Parliament has passed a law to reduce roaming charges by April next year, and abolish them by the middle of 2017 - perhaps not long before the UK’s EU referendum.
No more roaming charges across 28 countries! :D
