To all the Green voters. Aren’t you exaggerating the flaws in the EU just a tinsy bit? You could make most of these points about any country with a decent civil service.
Multinational companies? Really? Small businesses are thriving all over the EU, not in spite of it, but in many cases because of it. (I know a guy with a small business who does nothing but export large colume low value items across the EU, the EU works brilliantly for him and he’s a one man band. )
Get a grip, the EU is not that bad.
