Andrew Marr interviews David Cameron on his show today. The EU section starts at 43.02.There is a lot to analyse, and I will add to this post as I bring together the different points made. The first of many to address though is the question put as to whether we should leave the EU.

Predictably, Cameron says it wouldn't be right for Britain. Asserting that fifty percent of our exports go to "Europe" (not strictly true, but we'll let that one pass), he then launches into his pre-prepared homily:
Because we're in this single market and have a seat at the table in the Single Market, we help write those rules. If we were outside the EU altogether, we'd still be trading with all these European countries … but we would have no say over the rules of the market into which we would sell.

The trading would go on … There's a lot of scaremongering on all sides of this debate, of course the trading would go on. I mean, Norway trades actively with all of the European Union including Britain. But Norway has to obey all the rules of the Single Market and it actually pays a fee for trading into the Single Market but it has no say over those rules.
