The Common Market, which is a great idea allowing good trade deals, movement of business and qualified people became the EU. Which is a shit sandwich.

The Euro has made many poverty stricken because corrupt and inept politicians were allowed to borrow their people into debt that can't afford. It did boost sales for countries like Germany and France, the architects of the Euro.

Migration of non-EU citizens is a disaster. Merkel was safe as they wouldn't live on her street, go to her hospital or to school with her kids. How many shelters has she ordered to be built in Germany? Forget about jobs, few of these migrants will get one and those they do will be ones German had. How much has she raised taxes to cover the costs she imposed on Germany?

The UK, France, Germany, and others lack well-paid jobs, houses, public services, schools, hospitals, prisons. How much more in tax should you pay to cover the costs of the needs migrants bring?

As Madalton says, I'm benefitting. Czech has a very stable population because many have moved to the UK, Germany, etc. And continue to do so. The downside is our house is only worth 20% more than we paid for it 14 years ago. How many can say that in countries with an open door policy?

The people who come here, have to have a job, somewhere to live and be able to support themselves 100%. Even pay for medical insurance before they get cared for.

Anyone who wants to know who has benefitted by EU membership. Look at the widening gap between the rich and poor. Or look at the income of those telling you to vote IN.

mineistaken what are the benefits?
