btw. - the idea of the EU is a french idea schuhmann started that with Adenauer already in the late 50s.

i want to see your face when you will realize in 3 or 4 years what will happen with UK.
i will not say they will die from hunger but they will lose all prosperity and it is quite logic that they will.
because NOBODY will order anything from them (exept they know that the pounds value will drop - and than they pay less than then value is).
and britains can not afford to buy anything from outside because the pound will be weaker than ever.

i am really curoius how an island (what have to import a lot of goods because they do not have the natural ressources) can pay that with a weak currency and not loseing prosperity the same time.
if someone can resolve that problem he is a magic or god.

the EU is not perfect - i never said that - but it is the most senseful union of countries where nearly EVERY important good have natural ressources and can be traded from one to the other without the risk of currency changes.

you only see a EU now what is less than 20 years old. if you would be able to see the big vision you would understand HOW nessecary it is to survive.

i really hope that macron will win this election and so far things look good for him - even when nobody knew his name 1 year ago.
he is fresh, young, intelligent and not jailed in a corner of his brain as you guys are or trump is.
