Because there is more at stake in the world than a little lump of rock called 'England'. Everything we do in the UK affects other countries and everything they do affects us. To state that they are 'foreigners' just shows a distinct ignorance of world affairs. Without the EU, trade would be much more complex - each country we wished to trade with would have to have an agreement, some of those countries would demand that we didn't trade with other countries etc... As it stands we can travel freely within a huge space of land, get jobs anywhere in that area, trade with them freely etc...
I'm all for the EU, so long as they get their asses into gear and run it properly. As it stands, it is simply a mess.
