Well one of the fundamental flaws of the EU is the different treatment / rulings etc that are allowed for states.
Look at the 3% rule for the Euro... first one to blast right through that one was Germany, the very people that put that rule in. The UK has been given exemption after exemption and never truly thought of itself as being part of the EU. If you could, youŽd move your island and anchor it in front of the US coastline.
I think it would be somehow good if the brits would leave, really forcing the EU to rethink their approach towards the people.
However I doubt that this would really happen, the bureaucrats are just serving themselves and the big corporations.
We canŽt achieve parity within the EU if the underlying, basic regulations and laws are not the same for all.
WonŽt happen, hence the project is doomed if it is to serve the people.
It serves corporate greed alright.
