Hoping to put the 'In' back in Britain

“There’s a real danger that our campaign is real top-down patronizing, focusing on economic statistics, TTIP or FTAs or FDIs,” said Charles Grant of the Centre for European Reform think tank, referring to the acronyms that are used to describe EU trade and investment policies by people hoping to sell them as benefits to the average voter.

“I think the Out campaign is kind of a driver of passion and intensity, focused on the idea that British people should make their own rules and laws,” Grant said. “It’s an emotional thing. It’s not based on economic pros and cons.”
