Date: 2016-06-21

Professor Kenneth Armstrong, Professor of EU Law and Director of the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) at the University of Cambridge, has over 20 years of experience of researching, teaching and writing about the European Single Market.

Over the past few weeks CELS have released a number of videos seeking to provide dispassionate and factual analyses of the major referendum issues.

In this video, Professor Armstrong analyses a number of the arguments for a 'brexit', and lays out his own position on the EU referendum.  He likens leaving the EU to swapping super-fast broadband for dialup, or cable or satellite television for old-fashioned terrestrial.

"I believe that the UK is stronger in the EU and that the EU is stronger with the UK in it" says Professor Armstrong.  "the UK can exercise its sovereignty in and through the European Union. It doesn’t have to leave the EU to exercise its political power".
