Is there a neutral balanced article on the pros and cons of EU membership?

Maybe read a variety of articles?

I would prefer just one meta analysed please.
Fancy a beer tonight? I can give both sides and help you conclude the EU is the best thing for the UK.

There's a raft of articles on the net. I think you will need to read more than one to get a balanced view but here's an example ....

From what I have seen on here, you are just slightly left of communist.
I see myself as an internationalist democratic socialist personally, but would not be offended by your opinion

it doesn't exist, anyone writing on such an emotive, political and complex issue will have a view and this will show through. people wont even agree if an issue is a pro or a con, consider the whole debate around freedom of movement of labour.
I agree. It's got to the state that any logically argued analysis is besides the point - it's more about mindset, or attitude.
One side would argue it's better for a nation to form partnerships with its neighbours and become stronger based on a shared sense of community and compromise.
The other would think it's either my way or no deal.
Of course nothing made by humans is ever perfect but I think you can tell which way I think results in the creation of a stronger nation.

i think everyone agrees on that. its the method and consequences that people have disagreement with.
It's simple. The public should all be for leaving the EU, and the opinion polls will show we're likely to leave, and the EU won't want to lose our money so they'll offer us better terms to stay, and then when it's time to vote, we vote to stay.

I think a regular supply of free Chablis, a ban on the production of Blue Nun along with similar sickly syrups and the closure of Belgium would secure my vote in favour of staying.
What do you want to know?
When you'll stop boring us.
Put me on ignore then (do I really need to tell you this?)

Sounds familiar...
At let your left wing BS go unchallenged! And putting you on ignore would only help me, and I'm thinking of the greater good.
