Generally a good thing
Too much power is in Brussels
Single currency has failed

The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 27 member states which are located primarily in Europe. The EU traces its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed by six countries in 1958. In the intervening years the EU has grown in size by the accession of new member states, and in power by the addition of policy areas to its remit. The Maastricht Treaty established the European Union under its current name in 1993. The last amendment to the constitutional basis of the EU, the Treaty of Lisbon, came into force in 2009.

Ho ho ho.

In theory yes

In actuality a complete utter disaster that now controls far too much of us through the back door and threatens to pull us down with its failed attempt to railroad Europe into political union to suit the French and the Krauts..

Too corrupt to sign off its own accounts

All of its Commissioners forced to resign en masse

Forcing through legislation to reinforce its position that was democratically defeated..

The Common Agricultual Policy that at its peak swallowed almost 75% of its entire budget..

The list of top notch disasters is endless.........

Spielberg couldnt write it...............
