I never really understood this point of view. We were the third largest block so were very influential inside the EU. In fact We voted For 95% of the time, Abstained 3% of the time and only voted Against a mere 2% of the time
Also when the balloon
does go up, who do people generally call for? The Americans. Could that possibly because they're stronger? and if so, could that be because they're a collection of fifty sovereign entities united under one federal umbrella? ...and had they not joined together, would there even still
be an America, or would it have been a continual inter-state conflict? and if THAT had happened, what would WWII have looked like?
