yak404Yeah being in the European Union is just so great that Switzerland and Iceland have withdrawn their applications.
Trading with countries does not require political union and the surrendering of powers to an organisation which actively tries to subvert democracy and the will of the people.
Ever heard of "European Parliament"? Who do you think votes those parliamentaries? Why the hell do you think Europe has had this period of 70 years long of peace? (in the previous 70 years 3 big wars were fought) Do you thing that "yeah. Another war? No way. We're better then our ancestors pfff"? Do you really think that dividing in smaller and smaller countries will help us? How do you think you can talk and couterpose your opinions with countries with like 10x or plus of your population in the international scenario? (apart from USA: Brazil, China, India,.. these countries won't stay on the back sit FOR EVER).
That's ok let's close in ourselves. Let's think that we'll be greater if we're smaller and if we think only about our garden .Let's think that we're better then anything else. Let's think "before US, then YOU all".
Then just don't try to find the guilt outside, because the fault it's all yours.
