The Eu. Is, First of All, a European Union
Professor robert hoomes, historian of france and breton fellow of saint john's college cambridge, argues in favour of leaving the eu. Hoomes: The debate that takes place in this country is almost entirely about us. To britain has been worth 13% of the global economy for decades but now stands at just 5%. We have a huge deficit in trade with the eu even though it's actually improved since we left them. Europe's becoming less important economically and politically. That may be geo-politics of the 20th century will be oceanic politics - not continental.
