If Europe is so great why did some people had the desire to leave it?
Surely they were not all brainwashed or lobotomized?
The EU is now trying to make the UK pay an extraordinary price in order to warn the other countries that leaving the EU is not a choice to be taken lightly.
This kind of technique is known as bullying and that's as simple as it gets.
If the EU leaders were smart they would have used this opportunity to try to reform the EU and make it into what they promised their citizens.
There was a time when politicians said that the EU was going to bring prosperity, safety and so on and so forth?
Where are all those promises now?
The EU has had low economic growth for the last 15 years, high unemployment, flooded by migrants, non-stop terrorist attack, an ever smaller middle class, and ever-increasing taxes that are used to pay the salaries of technocrats like Juncker who was one of the guys who organized fiscal evasion on a scale never imagined.
Who is this guy by the way? He is not even fucking elected yet somehow he represents Europe?
Europe is not the democratic utopia that was sold to the people.
It certainly has not delivered on its promises and now it faces a backlash from its citizens.
I hope Brexit happens because if it succeeds it will show that another way is possible.
European technocrats can eat my shorts!
