Not if they have any sense.

@jonC1208 Greece was forced into economic problems by the EU/Germany. France and Spain and Italy were all wealthy countries until they joined the EU. They were all forced into economic problems by the EU. Not saved by the EU.

This is what happens when an unelected and unaccountable dictatorship in Brussels makes all the rules regulations and laws for Europe. All under the control of Germany. The EU project is a scam. Nothing more than a pyramid scheme filtering wealth and power and jobs into German ownership.

@STDVH I think the mentality of the third never went away. They just employ a financial war on Europe instead of bullets. When you control people's food, jobs, income, taxes and laws in any country you own the people. When the people can't vote you out of power (in Brussels) that is the dictatorship controlled by Germany that rules over Europe. It doesn't matter what name you give it. When you pay the European members of parliament hundreds of euros per day and tell them how to vote every morning when they turn up for work and they are constantly given free gifts every day to sweeten the deal, they are no longer independent employees working for the people of their country. They are working for the unelected in Brussels. Talk to any ex European MEP that has worked in Brussels. They will tell you they were given a sheet of paper and told how to vote on every amendment and every rule and regulation and law passed in the EU parliament. The true sign of a dictatorship. I know because I have family that worked in Brussels for many years. It is a machine designed to filter wealth and power to Germany. Nothing more. The only intelligent people who support the EU are cash hungry people that work inside the machine and well informed people in Germany and Brussels that are financially benefiting from the EU project, plus the people payed to spread miss information like the two people who made comments trying to defend the EU on my comment. They soon go silent when I pull apart their fake/flawed EU narrative. They move on to someone else to try and sway their thinking. The EU is nothing more than a pyramid scheme/scam filtering wealth and power and industry to Germany, while weakening every other EU member country. The whole EU project gives more power to countries with a larger population. Germany being the largest in Europe got the most power by design. If they are all in it together, why aren't the voting powers shared equally between EU member countries? It's because the system is rigged in favour of Germany.

Germany looks fragmented. Their whole political system has fallen apart.
1
@234zuscoutjango9 Ha Ha. You don't even understand the word fragmented. Now any future German government will have to follow a green agenda that will destroy German manufacturing. If you don't understand that, you need to look a little deeper into the mess Germany is in Right Now. It's just about to get a lot worse. The whole German powerhouse is falling apart and divided. The whole world is watching it happen day by day. We can all see what is happening. I think it's clear you have been blinded by the EU/German controlled media.

@groooah I fully understand a totally divided political system spends/wastes the majority of it time achieving nothing. How can any countries government achieve anything when there are so many arguments?

Johannes B. Latzel Really? Where is your proof? Oh that's right. You don't have any.
1
Johannes B. Latzel At present the next German government is in limbo. Eventually the next government will be made up of 2-3 political parties with very different ideals and goals. If you think that will create a smooth running government for Germany? I will leave it with you.

Without a UK/EU FTA. EU goods will cost 12-25% more under WTO trade terms. The UK is the EU's third largest trading partner. (behind the USA & China) Combined with the fact that None EU goods will be 10% cheaper from next year (With or Without an FTA). Thats because the UK wont be collecting 10% import tax (set by the EU) and sending that 10% import tax to Brussels. So without an FTA, EU goods will cost 22-35% more. When you consider the EU's Net exports are only 33 Billion a year and the UK spends 260 Bilion in the EU every year. Things dont look good for the EU leaders.

Why would anyone want to use the Euro now the Eurozone is basically bankrupt??????
1
@strofikornego9408 For Germany (maybe). Look at countries like France and Spain who were in the top 5 -10 richest countries in the world until they joined the EU. France isn't even in the top 30 now and Spain isn't either. Italy used to be a wealthy country and now the Italian national debt has spiraled out of control to the point where Italy will never be able break free from the interest repayments on that debt. So please explain how the EU is prosperous???? Don't bother parroting EU propaganda because i will fact check your comments. The EU might be the largest economic union but it is also the largest failing economic union. P.s The EU is just about to lose the claim of the largest economic union, when the UK joins the CPTPP it will become te largest economic union. The CPTPP with the UK will instantly be out performing the EU in sheer volume and land mass and wealth. Which is why so much investment is moving from the EU to the UK. That is another reason the UK's economy will be recovered to pre-covid levels by the end of 2021 and continue to grow faster than any other country in the western world in 2022.

@strofikornego9408 Well it is clear you dont understand anything about the CPTTP doesn't have laws or its own court. Each CPTTP member country makes it's own rules & regulations and laws. The CPTTP is just a simple trade agreement. The UK's NHS is swamped with economic migrants that moved from the EU because it had poor medical health treatments. Recent figures have found an additional 1.6 Million EU citizens from Bulgaria moved to the UK to claim UK citizenship. The Conservative party has an 80 seat majority because they were the only political party to actually agree to follow the result of the 2016 Brexit Referendum. The same reason the Brexit Party was the largest single political party in Brussels. The same reason local elections saw massive gains for the Tories. As for tube strikes, that only effects Central London and most people that work in Central London have been working from home for the past 18 Months. You really need to stop watching the EU controlled media that pumps out fake propaganda. I watch media from all over the world. Try watching SKY News Australia on youtube. I also watch French and German media. I know Germany lost 80,000 car plant jobs in 2019 Pre-Covid and for every job lost in a car production factory there is a further 5 jobs lost in the supply chain. The problem with the EU is they have been attacking the UK's economy for decades and over the past 5 years they have done that openly for the whole world to see. The EU damages their own 27 members economies much more than the UK's economy. The UK makes up 20% of the EU's total trade. In 2019 the UK spent 43 Billion on German built cars. Now people are buying more UK built vehicles. All the vehicle production plants in the EU are shrinking and the UK's Nissan plant is employing more people. UK businesses are now trading with the whole world without EU restrictions. At the same time the UK can continue to trade with the EU's single market (with Zero membership fee) For example in February 2021 the UK reduced imports of fresh salad and vegetables from the Netherlands by 35,000 Tonnes and increased direct imports from Morocco by 45,000 tonnes in February 2021. The harder the EU Commission makes trade between the EU and UK with endless red tape (rule & Regulations) the more the UK imports and exports with other countries outside the EU and most of the time those new trading partnerships are cheaper to buy imports from and more profitable to export too. The EU's GDP has been shrinking year on year. Which should be impossible because more than 1 Million people migrate/move to the EU every year, plus the additional birth rate pushing up the EU27's combined population. That means you have less money shared between more people, year on year. The whole world can see the slow self destruction of the EU. We see the EU Commission using more desperate measures/threats to control it's own 27 member countries and threats to countries outside the EU. Look at the way the EU threatened to cut off the electrical supply to Switzerland and Jersey. Switzerland pushed back and did a deal with the UK instead, which has given the UK financial sectors a massive boost. Jersey only gave the French fishing boat access until the end of the year. Then they have to meet the criteria and prove they have historic records of fishing in Jersey waters or they have to leave permanently. So nothing was actually gained. In 6 months time the same French boats will be excluded from Jersey fishing waters. With the poor treatment the UK is getting from the EU, the whole of the EU's fishing fleet will be excluded from UK waters in 5 years time. The UK has bought more from the EU, than the EU bought from the UK. That gives the UK buying power. The UK's spending power is steadily going else where or it's being spent on UK products. That trend will increase every year. For the UK it's more profitable to Export & Import to and from Canada, USA, South America, Asia, India & Africa than it is to import/export to France or the Netherlands. The Spanish Haulage companies are going broke because they are losing so much profit to the UK market. The EU food producers are going bust because they have lost their sakes to the UK market. The same applies to many industries in the EU. The combined financial impact of Covid and Brexit has been a hammer blow to the EU. So your Anti UK propaganda isn't going to change anything. All the EU Commissions scary stories came to nothing. Even after the EU tried everything to attack the UK's economy over the past 5+ years. The UK is way out performing all the EU27 economies. The UK has signed 87 trade agreements since we left the EU. Plus the UK has FREE Access to the EU27 single market. What has the EU achieved in the past 18 months? What trade deals has the EU done in the last 18 months? The tiny reduction in trade tariffs with the USA hardly counts as an achievement when it will only save the EU less than 30 Million in tariffs/taxes. The EU Commission was so busy trying to dream up new ways to attack the UK, they forgot to order vaccines during a global pandemic, which meant the EU had to restrict/ban legitimate vaccine exports. The EU attacked AstraZeneca's None Profit vaccine costing 3 Euro per vaccine and now the EU is having to pay 16 Euro to 27 Euro per vaccine. The EU is paying at least 16 Euro for the J&J vaccine that is basically the same as the AZ vaccine. The French vaccine company Valneva moved their vaccine production to the UK and refuses to sign a vaccine supply contract with the EU. Novavax is manufacturing their vaccine in the UK and refusing to sign a supply contract with the EU. All of the EU funded vaccines have failed. So Germany is now manufacturing the American Pfizer vaccine. So please please please tell me what is so amazing about the Unelected and Unaccountable EU Commission that you are personally paying for?

Unless you factor in the UK's fishing industry. The EU has done everything to destroy the UK's fishing industry. Once the EU destroyed the UK's fishing industry and put UK fisherman out of business the EU paid the fishermen to scrap their boats. Lets not forget the EU's disgusting and wastefull policy of throwing fish back if that species of fish is not included in that boats quota.

The EU project was designed to filter wealth, jobs, manufacturing, power and ownership from the whole of Europe directly to Germany. The EU project is an economic war on Europe without firing a single bullet.

@iamseamonkey6688 The EU was only ever meant to be an economic union. There was already peace in Europe once Germany was defeated in WWE. Then the EU gave all the power to Germany. So the EU project by your own definition has failed the people of Europe.

@iamseamonkey6688 You say the EU project was designed to give European countries economic independence? So why do they all have to use the Euro? The moment countries joined the Euro their countries lost a vast amount of their wealth overnight. Spain and France for example, were in the top 10 wealthiest countries in the world before the joined the Euro. Now neither of them are in the top 20. The EU under German control makes the rules and regulations to filter wealth and power from Europe directly to Germany. Any industry Germany is not interested in is flooded with cheap imports, through German owned ports. Almost 1 billion of cheap Chinese imports enters German ports every day. Plus all the imports from the rest of Asia India Africa etc etc. That has destroyed every industry in every town and city across Europe. Please tell me how that is financial independence? Now that Germany dominates Europe without firing a single bullet it has come to the point where Germany needs more because the Germany economy has sucked the life out of Europe and the German economy is stagnant and starting to fall backwards. This is what happens in every dictatorship in history.

@jonC1208 Don't forget German greed has funded Russia for decades. Now look at the war that has created. All thanks to the EU project that is controlled by Germany. So your talking utter nonsense. Happy to educate you further.
