For the best. We have paid too much money in and lost too much sovereignty.

+Matt 18 Not sure about that, we essentially just gave our top job to Boris Johnson, even if we get more money from this, it wont be going to any of us.

Really Dr Matt and what made you such a great judge of exactly what sovereignty is (which is an impossible thing to answer), how much we have actually lost and how much value the UK actually gets from the EU (bearing in mind £120 billion was knocked of British companies today). You'd need a PhD on each of these to answer it properly. If you based your comment on anything in the papers you should be very angry as you have been lied to.

Yes, it takes time to replace thousands of pieces of legislation and regulation that come with EU membership, but that could all have been sorted out quite quickly. What really held back Brexit was Britain's constant "have our cake and eat it" attitude, and making demands that were physically impossible.

As long as they keep insisting that northern Cyprus is a thing Greece will keep vetoing everything with them. Also throwing refugees and migrants into the borders isn't nice.

@@vulpine3431 Greece doesn't even need to veto them. Cyprus can itself lol. I don't think Greece even cares what happens in Cyprus anymore really. They're mostly done with the island since now most of the population doesnt want to be part of Greece. And Greece still has lots of issues with Turkey like Imia / Kardak and their border. Most likely France and other countries would also veto them too, since they're not too happy on the migrants thing.

+bernardobiritiki In Greece the situation is complicated. I want to explain but is too complicated xD Yes im Greek... Btw there is no country in the world without a debt. The problem in Greece is that the debt is huge and it's hard to take more loans, so no loans = risk for bankruptcy = The plp who gave loans will lose their money. So why cant Greece live without loans? Because the politicians cant handle money even though they teach to famous univericities ^^

+T Panos so is syrisa working out or no? i really really really hope it is

They are in power less than a year so is too early to judge. But my personal opinion is no, simple because their rivals agree with their dicision so something is wrong here ^^ just kidding. They did too many mistakes for example the hired again 400+ cleaners for the Ministry of Finance (btw the previous goverment fired them) and the parlament is the most expencive building (i talking about the staff who is working in there) in Greece (if not in Europe) but their paychecks is steady. If you count the politician wages (3500-5000 euros) is about 1.200.000 euros per month, and the guys who filing up water on the stand earn 1500 euro (when there is families who "living" with 600 euros) but of course the politicans reject these number and claim they are hungry too... Even their lies is bad! The parlament is working like for decades so that isnt syriza's fault but they can fix that if they wanted... And about that Grey said "that we lied about our economy to join the euro" isnt wrong, our pressident "cooked" our numbers but he never faced any charges ^^ Cool eh?

the eu is more of an extension of the alliance between countries really

+Weegee Productions Indeed, even more restrictions (like the 'anti-terror chemicals', e.a. hydrogen peroxide is banned, nitrate fertilizers are banned,..), the retail had less income because of that and the result of those restrictions where mass bombing, like in Paris and Brussels and a huge black market. In contrast with the USD the euro have a fixed value, which is stupid and the reason why the economy in the eurozone dropped, maintaining these imperial European buildings (lobbying is impossible with the EU) is very expensive, in contrast to the US there are simply too many languages to learn to make it possible to work in say Denmark if Belgium is too small. Finally, the results of the lack of Border control are huge amounts of refugees that leave their country because Europe and the US will raid them for oil. Politicians are 'FOR' their own seat.

I don't see the point why you desperately want to avoid joining the Euro. As with many other memberships in the EU, you basically are following common rules anyway, without having a say. The SEK EUR exchange rate is basically static, so the only change you would see, is a different colour in bank notes and another number on it. Your companies already are doing virtually everything in EUR anyway, or at least those who trade with businesses in other countries. With the transition to electronic money going on (I very rarely use cash anymore), there's even less reason to stick to your own paper notes. I can understand when you want to keep your own money so that you can have your own monetary policy, but as Swedish and Danish money is basically linked with the EUR anyway, what's the point? It's not because we have given up on Belgian franks, that we have lost our soul/identity/whatever. We are still Belgians. We just use some other paper to pay our groceries with. It's not a big deal. It feels like people in Sweden and Denmark feel insecure about themselves. Somehow you need your "own" money, just so that you can say "hey, I'm Swedish/Danish". Weird...

@@janickpauwels3792 no, they’re simply just keeping themselves safe from the error of other countries. That’s why the UK never joined; the £ was extremely safe and most importantly was the oldest currency in the world. 2008 completely shattered Swedens confidence of changing currency, hence why it’s still so skeptical.

Adopting the Euro is not important right now. Accepting the basic principle of what the EU stands for, is. Discarding fundamental articles in the EU treaties (which Poland signed) as inferior to your constitution, means that you have two options: 1) leave the EU, as apparently your constitution is not compatible with the treaty you signed, and makes it void. 2) change your constitution. A constitution is just a law which can be changed, if it has sufficient support. This is not about the EU being the boss of Poland. This is about agreeing to do certain things in the same way and putting your signature under that commitment. You cannot just say that you don't like the text anymore, and pick the articles you like and discard those you don't like.

the political diversity is the biggest glitch of the EU. EU is comparable with US in many ways, but we will never become a superpower of major relevance on the world map unless we get further federalized and get more centralized federal power. I am ok with our strongest armies having just a fraction of the U.S. military budget. We never set a goal of policing world, we also may not be the best guy to do it as some of our countries had colonies in the past. Our role is rather to mediate peace and diffuse conflicts by dimplomatic means. When that fails, it's good to know our stronger brother has our backs. And vice versa.
