Synopsis

Britain's place in the European Union is increasingly being called into question as the 40th anniversary of membership approaches in 2013. Pressure is building for a referendum to decide whether to stay in or leave. But clear and reliable information has been hard to find on both sides of the debate. This book puts that right. It shows how much the EU really costs, charts Britain's declining influence and reveals the plans for 'more Europe' being discussed in Brussels. It cuts through the hysteria on both sides of the argument to analyse the alternatives available for business, consumers and diplomats. The central issue of trade, cited by David Cameron as a key reason for continued EU membership, is tackled head-on. The book also explores what leaving the European club would mean for jobs, travel, security and the British way of life. Is now the time to say 'Au Revoir, Europe'? 'I wanted to believe in Europe,' David Charter said. 'But when you are constantly told there is no alternative, the questions start. This book provides the answers.'

Media Reviews
[a] timely contribution to the debate 40 years after the UK joined [the EU] Philip Johnston, Daily Telegraph Brutally lucid, this road-map for a UK exit from the Union should sharpen every political mind Jon Cruddas MP, The Independent This is a shockingly coherent book. It ascribes logic to what, from the outside at least, appears degenerative Tory thinking - This book is a brutal contribution to a consideration of the options that this country now faces. Belfast Telegraph an essential handbook to the understanding of a debate that will dominate the next five years. Tribune What is lacking thus far is any dispassionate analysis of how we got to where we are today and hard facts on which to base decisions about the future. Into that gap steps David Charter. [Charter] has produced a well-researched, well-documented and, above all, lucid and objective account of Britain's increasingly fraught relationship with the EU. The Times
