National identity is under threat

AS THE referendum approaches, our main concern should be whether we wish to retain our national identity and sovereignty, which we are in danger of losing for good. 
People’s main worries stem from freedom of movement within the EU, which threatens to swamp our country with immigrants. I believe the EU insists upon it because, in effect, it strips away national boundaries and cultural identities paving the way for a superstate. 
The EU has humanism as its central belief, and this can only serve to further undermine what is left of our country’s Christian heritage. 
Some argue it is better to remain and reform from within, but how can we ever be an effective voice for reform as one among 28 and rising? 
What we can expect from mass immigration is economic ruin and social upheaval, the signs of which are already with us. 
Many regard the prospect of leaving as a ‘leap in the dark’. But would it not be a greater leap into the dark if we were to remain? How many nice surprises is the EU keeping in store for us until after the vote? 
Let us not be left to bitterly regret following blindly the political class in surrendering our country to one of the most undemocratic organisations in the western world.
