Just read this Economist article which summarises the case for and against in economic terms. Seems reasonable and objective to me. Some interesting points -
- According to the OECD the UK is one of the least regulated advanced economies
- the consensus of economists on the effect of Brexit on the UK economy is that they don't know (!) but it is likely to be negative ie it is risky
- the effect of joining the EEC in the 70s was to boost the UK's GDP
