Banking with a non-EU bank would be illegal.

Ah, good old protectionism.

How about trying to be serious about reforming European zombie banks instead of protecting them?

I've got more but that's some initial food for thought.

There's enough indigestion already....

One day, there will be a proper debate on Europe.

! very much doubt that.

Personally I think the EU is good thing (basically preventing Euro War and standing up to the Yanks and Asians) but of course we can negotiate to make it better. You can negotiate on anything. Of course EU would miss us (and vice versa, see above) but that wont be necessary because they will give us what we largely want. Move on.

They wont give us largely what we want they will say these are the rules ofthe club stay or leave as would any club of 27 members who had to listen to one member who constantly moaned from the edges of the club and then demanded you all change your rules to accommodate them.

Why do you think we will get what [s]we[/s] those ont he right who hate Europe ask for ? What quotes have you seen that make you think this?

Like France do then? How many times in recent years have they decided they won't pay or do something and the UK has picked up the bill?

Don't know - how many times? Or is that just a Mail/Telegraph meme, and has little basis in fact?

The UK's population density is skewed by having huge areas of Scotland with very low density. Both urban and rural density is probably much higher in most of the places where immigrants are likely to want to go.

That's true of all countries with cities.

Japans population is almost entirely based in coastal cities.

The Philippines has islands such as Palawan that are sparsely populated.

Nationals working in member states and non-EU states would be obliged to pay the difference between the foreign tax rate and the tax rate in their home country to their home country (unless they were prepared to give up their nationality)

That's really stupid. Then someone who goes to work somewhere with low tax and low public services ends up paying high tax (between country of citizenship + country of birth) and getting low public service.

I don't know why you're so keen to stop people moving from bloated high tax jurisdictions like France to other places. If states are providing such a poor deal in terms of tax and public services that large numbers of people want to move away from there, then then should fix that problem at home instead of sinking their fangs into the money of citizens living abroad.

That's total nonsense. I pay income tax where I live as I use the services here. Why should I pay in the UK or France, as both are my "home country" (whatever that means) but I don't live in either of them.
