Brexit Briefing

Common Remain Counter Argument's and How To Answer Them
A major problem of the debate is the lack of engagement. By prolonging discussions to 3 comments brexit arguments gain a lot of strength.

>Britain could renegotiate a new trade deal --> This would require free movement:

The counter examples here are clear, with Korea being a good example. This is a much smaller EU market which enjoys a free trade deal of goods and services. Similarly it should be noted that Norway largely considers the free movement agreement a positive they desire, due to low net migration to the country.
Also important to say that a huge amount of trade is done without such agreements so trade is in no meaningful way halting.
Other key points:
Chile also has free trade in goods and services
The EU has been incredibly slow to negotiate free trade deals, and has significantly fewer than most independent countries in the top ten economies.

>Pressure on Housing --> This is due to government funding:

This is a really popular issue but leaving it at this seems to raise a lot of doubt in people's minds in my opinion. It has to be hammered home to a lot of people, who are not confident in their grasp of systems they do not feel they are experts of. It has to be made clear that if demand already outstrips supply, and supply is increasing only slowly, then increasing demand must cause strain.
If possible force opponents onto shaky ground about what the limit is that the UK can take; generally if it's someone from Labour or the left they will probably embarrass themselves here.

>Pressure on services --> Migrants support our services:

Must come back and hammer home the point of controlled and uncontrolled immigration. Also hammer home that a lot of the nurses and doctors are from non-EU countries. It is the ability to select people with the skills that we need that matters.

>Restore sovereignty --> Likely counter argument is some crap about the last election results and representative democracy:

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Also it is again important to make very very clear to the people that the EU parliament is not like ours (cannot make laws etc). This is quite commonly made, but it's also worth noting the disproportionate clout of some countries in terms of representatives per head of population. Further, opponents should always be punished for making this point by bringing up their lack of trust in democracy and the people of Britain.

>Net contribution/daily payment figures --> 'That's the gross figure etc etc', What about all the EU good for sciences and the arts:

Here it is genuinely harmful to keep quoting the gross figure. The net contribution is what is significant here, and the rubbishing of quoting the gross figure leads people to think the net contribution of the UK is also rubbish. The net contribution is big enough, and it has to be made clear that we pay for all European subsidies ourselves but without decision.
