L’UE est une tombe qui enterre l’innovation. Elle inflige une peine considérable à l’Europe , l’extrême droite est plus forte que jamais depuis les années « à cause de l’UE. Les ressouces qui sont englouties, diverties, pour maintenir cette construction branlante et déficiente sont un gouffre qui empêche de faire autre chose en matière d’innovation, éducation, recherche, investissement , c’est un détournement sans fin. Tout ce qui est excitant et innovant vien d’ailleurs. 

Outside the EU, the UK would adopt “a national mission to be a world leader in innovation, science and education.” Gove also accused the EU of “inflicting pain on Europe” adding that “the far right is stronger across the continent than at any time since the 1930s – Golden Dawn in the Greek parliament are explicitly Hitler worshippers.”

Asked about post Brexit UK-EU trading arrangements, Gove argued, “We would create an arrangement that was bespoke for Britain. I think the problem with the different models that have been put forward is that none of them take account of Britain’s unique status…[The UK] would be in a far stronger position than any other country…There’s a free trade area in Europe that extends from Iceland to Turkey. There’s no way Britain would be outside that…It wouldn’t be in the interests [of other EU leaders] to cut off their nose to spite their face.”

In an interview on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show, asked on several occasions about whether the UK ought to remain in the single market after leaving the EU, London Mayor Boris Johnson argued, “The single market is basically a single judicial system whereby more and more power is taken away from individual member states…I’m talking about the great zone – the great free trade zone that is the [EU]. I want us to be able to trade freely with that zone. But I don’t want us to be subject to more and more top-down legislation and regulation…The single market is changing and the project now is to rescue the euro by creating an ever denser series of political arrangements based around [the Eurozone].”

On the renegotiation, Johnson argued, “Anybody looking at the agreement that we have before us now will be in no doubt that this is not fundamental reform.” Asked about the plans to put in place domestic safeguards to protect sovereignty from being eroded by the European Court of Justice, he claimed that “we had some language that seemed to have some bite and seemed to work” but government lawyers “blew up” on the basis it was incompatible with the 1972 European Communities Act. Finally, asked whether Prime Minister David Cameron would have to resign in the event of a vote to leave, Johnson replied, “To the best of my knowledge there is not a single [EU] leader in the last 20 years who has had to step down as a result of a referendum, whether on Europe or not.” Writing in The Sun, Trevor Kavanagah argues, “This was the moment for a forensic response from the leader of the Out campaign. Instead Boris disappeared in a cloud of waffle.”

Meanwhile, a new poll released by YouGov shows a narrow lead for the Remain camp with 40% of respondents declaring they would vote to remain in the EU compared with 37% saying they would vote to leave – while 23% said they were undecided.

Quand on voit le déluge de propagande, de moyens financiers et de … mauvaise foi, on ne peut qu’être sidéré de la faible avance de ceux qui disent  être pour rester dans l’UE. La réalité est une très nette position en faveur de la sortie. On vole le peuple  de son suffrage et de sa souveraineté.

When asked if Britain would be “economically better or worse off” after leaving the EU, 31% of respondents said worse off compared with only 23% who said better off. Separately, a survey conducted by Radio 4’s World This Weekend of around one third of local Conservative Party chairmen in seats with a sitting Conservative MP has found that 42% support leaving the EU compared to 24% who back continued membership.
