An extra £11bn every year for the NHS and social care by 2022.
Axe tuition fees for science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine.
Abolish the TV licence and cut VAT on household bills.
A massive boost in security: 20,000 more police, 7,000 more prison officers, and 4,000 more border force staff.
Provide up to 100,000 new homes for younger people every year.
Maintain the triple lock on pensions which sees them rise by the higher of prices, average earnings or 2.5%.The UK would no longer have to pay membership fees, which are estimated to be about 11 per cent of the UK’s annual GDP, around £12 Billion a year
Consumers could also benefit from the UK no longer having to follow policies like the Common Agricultural Policy, which costs Britain £1 billion a year in subsidies to foreign farmers and is believed to waste a lot of money on bureaucratic spending. This could potentially lower supermarket costs. The Common Fisheries Policy also places regulations on the British Fishing Industry that prevents it from reaching its potential. The cost of clothing could also go down without barriers from the Common Customs Tariff that prevents cheap clothing producers from entering the EU market.
EU would no longer regulate trade costs, therefore Britain would be able to to set Value Added Tax and other regulations for itself.
All of this could potentially save British households £933 per year.
Britain would have the opportunity to influence world decisions as an independent nation.
The UK would have the opportunity to control immigration for itself. EU citizens have the right to live and work in any member state. Net migration from EU countries into the UK is at about 184,000 a year. Many migrate to the UK because of what is perceived as a more generous healthcare system and, under the EU, Britain is unable to regulate immigrants’ access to welfare privileges which creates a strain for UK nationals.
Being in the EU makes it easier for terrorists to enter the UK because of the above immigration laws. The supremacy of EU courts also makes it harder for the UK to deport violent criminals.
Britain would gain sovereignty and no longer be obliged to follow any laws set up by the EU.
Less regulation in the workplace could create more jobs, and lower migration could increase wages.
