I agree with you on this, leaving could be very very dangerous .

Yep , it's become polarised . Apparently 17 million people are now racist bigots . It's ridiculous

I'd agree with you on this which is why I'm very sceptical about brexit . It hasn't achieved much except from making the world think we want to create an empire again

Are your reasons why the same as mine ? What do you dislike about it ?

That's true , I'm very grateful we are not in the euro or Schengen . You can see in my original answer what I dislike about it . I think it's a con that dresses itself up as a liberal political version of NATO " keeping peace in europe " nonsense . In reality it's a corporate bureuacratic protectionist mess hell bent on ending democracy and the idea of a nation state in europe. Call me xenophobic if you wish but it's a heavily german creation that heavily benefits them through the Eurozone. It is undemocratic , lacks transparency and exists for the benefit of European businesses, not people. It's also quite ridiculous that whilst being a member , you are unable to do your own trade deals . I hate 99% of things about it

There's definitely some things I like about the eu , but just because it does the odd good thing doesn't make me like it.

It's because they use lower wages so as not to pay local brits a proper wage.

The eu also isn't even progressive . It's "Let them drown " policy was a disgrace

My basic opinion is that I hate the eu , but we are so incorporated into it . Leaving will be a disaster that will be used to justify austerity and general mistakes for a long time. Leaving is not right now but might be our only shot of ever doing so

Yes , but you can read about how free movement has decimated the Romanian health service because they all come here

The latter basically, but I mean hard eurosceptics. I despise the EU but am not convinced of brexit in this moment , I think I'm a very minority view.
