An imperfect EU is better than none for Britain
FAMILIES are always imperfect, often troublesome and never fuss-free. Yet families also offer support in times of need and share their wealth in times of abundance. Families that work show that the whole can be better than the sum of its parts.
Britain would do well to remember this analogy as it enters yet another round of debate about its membership in the European Union (EU).
The European bloc as it currently exists leaves much to be desired, but the benefits of an open and coordinated multinational economic zone make a strong argument that reform, not abandonment, should be the preferred path.
