Not sure I understand the logic there. Yes if we leave it will send a message but then what? The only way we can truly influence the debate is by having a voice. Most supporting us leaving do so sighting one or two main objections, Take the recent UKIP PPB, there were just two things rammed home on their broadcast, Immigration and Nigel Farage. Boris Johnson always talks about sovereignty, then there are those who worry about what we put in and what we take out Based solely I might add upon a simple taxpayer cost there is no mention of added value possibly because there isn't any, I think that assumption is flawed. The final major concern is accountability and this imho is the key. With the broadening of the community to it's present membership it is far more difficult for France and Germany to call the shots, others are asking the same questions we do, Eurocrats need reining in and that IS acheivable regardless of how cynical your views are. Ultimately I cannot see any benefit to ourselves or the rest of Europe if the block disintegrates, a break up will leave each trying to be the lowest bidder, tax havens again on our doorstep and criminals running the weaker economies, rather like our banks. My eyes are open but the big picture could be more complex than us leaving might appear.
