Being in the EU is like most things, a mixture of pros and cons. At present the balance is on the pro side. If the pseudo negotiations Cameron is carying out end up with his having got rid of some of the things he hates, I can see myself voting to get out, because most of those things would be the very things I value.

I think if I was in a lot of member countries, and I had a vote on whether to keep the UK, or at any rate, England, in the Union, I'd vote for dispensing with its presence.
