We could perhaps become an associated member of the EU, rather than continue full membership as of now.
Restore our national currency which will enable us to control monitory policy.
Regain control of our borders, thus enabling us to manage immigration more effectively.
Many of our problems can be attributed to the fact that we've given away too much sovereignty, thus rendering our own parliament ineffectual.
The surrender of yet more powers to Brussels will add further to our difficulties.
We are still a poor nation in the true sense, i.e. few natural resources, etc.
It's no use trying to keep in with the big boys, we're simply out of our depth, we ought to at least acknowledge that.
