A manifesto for informed debate on the Brexit question | Letters

The debate on the EU referendum has thus far repeated that of the Scottish independence referendum - unlike parliamentary elections, where debate is (or can be) on policy built on evidence, a single-issue referendum on a constitutional/economic issue risks descending into an exchange of guesswork built on anecdote (Boris has just launched his latest myth, 27 February).

I suggest that it would better if both sides provide a manifesto with policy detail and projected consequences for our country five and/or 10 years from now. The out campaign manifesto should, among other things, clarify which model is proposed for UK-EU relations (eg the Norway model? Or a trading relationship as with a comparably-sized economy like, say, South Korea? Or a new and unique model - to be specified?); and which specific EU laws would be repealed with newly re-established exclusive sovereignty, and with what effect?
