  2. Why bother?
    “Would anyone in their right mind want to
    join the EU today? It is 50 years old, it is
    going in the wrong direction. It is time for
    real reform. The only way to get that is to
    leave.”
    "The more I look at the EU - we've a currency crisis
    tearing north and south apart, a migrant crisis
    leading to walls being built in Austria and Hungary -
    Schengen isn't working, nothing is working. It's in a
    permanent, perpetual crisis. The EU looks like a
    burning building but there's an exit door, and I
    suggest on June 23, we take it."
