You're not wrong.
I cannot understand how people who claim to be intelligent can believe an economic and political union of countries with vastly different economies, standards of living, welfare states, employment figures, education, health services etc etc will survive when people from the poorer countries will simply move to the richer nations.
Well, the young, rich, and educated will move. The poor nations will simply be left with the old, the poor and the uneducated.
But hey, this is progress and makes for a much better world........
Hopefully the madness that is the EU is soon to be confined to the history books.
A Europe which trades with each other, respects each other, deals with climate change together - and other important issues - is what we should have. Not this nonsense.
