This is not a black and white issue as I have said before - very few things are.

I agree with with all you have said with the addendum that Leaving must be driven by the pragmatic needs of the country and not the religious dogma of the extremists.
The issue that a lot of people have is when a complex issue is re-painted as you say, black and white, it leads to wrong decisions.
Caricaturing the EU as the root of all evil is childish but it does play to a particular audience and some are gullible enough to believe the message.
