| SamuelRSmith said: I personally don't like the EU. I like free trade, and free movement of people. I don't think that Europe represents either of those things. In fact, the EU is one of the most protectionist blocs in the world. Some earlier posts in this thread said that the EU's financial markets would be much more stable without London. This is laughable, considering the situation with the Greek banks, and the absolutely dire state that Deutsche Bank are in. British banks, for the most part, are withdrawing from, or reducing their presence in, European markets. |
1. i traveld a lot the last 2 years, without talking to any border guard or paying any fee. just get up, shave, take the bike to the train station, buy a ticket, take the train to paris, or amsterdam, or warsaw.
free trade is a different thing, but less EU will not help. we need more EU for that, if every country has the same taxes, trade will be easyer.
and the europea banks could be much better regulated without london. thats a big plus. and greek isnt such a big problem, the need to renew 400b in debt.
thats not so bad, they dont make much new debt(less than the uk) and the EU without the UK would stand stronger, with lower ficaldeficit and lower tradedeficit.(and the Eurozone is way better of than the US, there is no new junkrealestate buble in the EU, ther is no tightoil buble in the EU and european students have no debt problem...)
