The reason for existence of the EU is unfettered trade; and it's extended over into common standards and policies, and thus helps its member countries enjoy the oppotunities of scale.

This is not just "my" reality; it happens to be economic facts of life. I'm sure there are doubtlessly reasons for being unhappy with the EU; but so far I am not seeing any good factual basis for being so.

Trade at the cost of freedom? not worth it my friend' we're giving up freedoms and rights all to the EU way of doing things.
