"The EU provides fantastic benefits for UK citizens. Horizon2020, Erasmus, Single Market, Free Movement. And it provides links to other countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, from which we can learn much." - David Carter(UK)

Correction to the above:

1: Under it's rules Horizon 2020 and Erasmus only provides benefits to some UK Citizens - not all.

2: As far as the single market goes we buy more from them than they do from us so on balance of trade it works out negatively for the UK. This is exacerbated by the restrictions it applies to our trade with the rest of the world - a much larger market than the EU

3: Free Movement that too has it's pros and cons - more EU citizens work in the UK than UK citizens work in the EU.

4: So "France, Germany, Italy, Spain" are the only countries we have something to learn from? What is it they have to teach us? The world has even more to teach us don't you think?

The EU is corrupt, unaccountable, protectionist and introverted. We as a nation are far better off trading with the rest of the world after all we did that quite successfully for a few centuries before we became part of that great con sold to us as a trading partnership - "The Common Market".
