@samueljohnson @smallcircles @Kerplunk @chatcontrol not going to assume where you live or what you may or may not know. The presumption the British do not understand the EU is a bold statement. Many Brits voted leave because Leave were ignorant and arrogant in their approaches whereas Remain were hammering the cost of membership, immigration and interference.
Based on recent 'policies' returning to vote due to the pressure form lobbiests and the corruption within the EU (read the recent reports on this), not only has the EU stepped well outside is original scope it is now doing the bidding for others rather than for the good of its citizens.
If you wish to believe the EU is marvellous then do so. Yes they have done some wonderful things. Many of their actions and a lot of their inaction outweigh the good and the bitter treatment of certain countries during disagreements is appauling.
History, like this...

@EF @samueljohnson @Kerplunk @chatcontrol Yea. I consider EU far from marvellous, am often exasperated by what's going on there. But it is also the best we have, and I'm glad my country is in the EU. One upside of the dark outlook in world politics, and the New World Order et al, is that it will give such a shock to the system, that more radical change and innovation is now possible where it wasn't before.
