One of the UK’s leading EU law experts criticizes the referendum debate’s “dishonesty on an industrial scale”,

The substance of each viewpoint is analysed and an informed assessment of the UK’s potential future position, both as a member of the EU and in the wake of a vote to leave is made.
In my video chat No 5 yesterday which is now on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gwynoro  I made reference to Professor Dougan’s video and promised to upload on to my blog – so here it is.
University of Liverpool Law School’s Professor Michael Dougan has spent his career studying EU law as it relates to the UK; contributing to Parliamentary Select Committees, advising government and now helping media fact check the barrage of assertions emanating from the Remain and Leave camps, in the run up to June 23.
Here, Professor Dougan as he considers the claims and counter claims from each side analyses the substance of each viewpoint and delivers an informed assessment of the UK’s potential future position, both as a member of the EU and in the wake of a vote to leave.
Although it is about 25 mins duration it is well worth listening to – informative, factual and instructive

In the video Dougan refers to a civil service research survey on UK’s relationship with the EU. It was carried out between 2012 and 2014. This survey is the most comprehensive ever carried out.
