  1. Until the EU implements a system wherein nations can be kicked out for not following EU laws and agreements, The EU will slowly become little more than an economically focused UN, which is not good. contrary to popular belief, you cannot separate economics and politics.

  2.  @maddog5284  Eastern europe has its own ideas, southern europe has its own ideas. the baltic states has their own ideas. poland has its own ideas. everyone has different ideas. thats why its a democracy. But if most member countries say one thing, you cant just turn around and declare the EU to be akin to the soviet union, despite being fucking voluntary, and then proceed to take more money than you give.

  3.  @bLd321  considering germany is being sued by the EU, im pretty sure even the biggest countries are subject to EU law. so why arent the smallest ones?

  5. thats the thing, you cant have strong economic and cultural ties with countries that are increasingly misaligned politically as well as culturally. the problems in hungary and poland isnt merely "oh there is bigotry", its that their political systems are becoming increasingly skewed and authoritarian, and their economies are becoming increasingly "inbred" for lack of a better term. despite their potential they are net-recievers of EU funding. Viktor Orban has drastically changed electoral and legal policies during his reign to consolidate and ensure his continued rule. That isnt merely politically disagreeable, its downright frightening. And as we saw with britain post brexit, when the EU legal requirements no longer applied to them, not only was there a major economic backslide but everything from quality-checking goods, to labor laws to basic border control went to shit, because the brits cannot and will not maintain their end of the bargain. The reality is that you cant have economic cooperation, especially not as intimately as the EU does, without also the political requirements. and for "EU skeptics" to call that "authoritarian" is fucking ridiculous when the Union is voluntary.
