What Is Your Opinion of the European Union?

[Bobby Martnen]

Pushing immigration, multiculturalism, feminism, and Islam

Not a fan at all

[Es war ein Edelweiß]

The EU is a power elite with a globalist agenda that conspires against European values. I used to call it „ZOG“. It is an Occupation Government anyway.
Merkel das Ferkel has done too much damage to Germany.

[TEUTORIGOS]

I have mixed feelings; on the one hand it unifies countries that used to practice fratricidal wars with each other.

On the other hand poor southern PIGS countries are a drain on the more successful northern countries.

Also, it seems bad that liberal policy makers can dictate unilaterally destructive immigration policies and the like.

Britain left the EU and the National Front in France wants to leave the EU so it can police its borders better among other things.

You do not understand economics,, the weaker countries have helped keep the currency devalued which helps Germany and the other Northern countries to export more goods and stay competitive. If the PIGS left the EURO currency would skyrocket and Germany would suffer from a strong currency as they are an export economy.

France has to reform they have been running deficits year after year. They in some ways should be a PIGS country. Italy now has a budget surplus and France continues to break EU rules with their deficit being too large. So it is not fair to just attack the PIGS. Germany wants to have it cake and eat it too.

Agreed.

Agreed.

You also do not understand economics. In this day and age a weak currency is essential in saying competitive and grabbing markets share. Japan has been doing it for years.

100 Yen = 1 Dollar. Germany needs the weaker countries and they know it. Their currency would be to strong otherwise and they would not be able to export and grab market share.

[JohnSmith]

The British stock market hit all time highs today because their currency weakened. A weak currency is what makes a country competitive.

I think all the countries should go it alone and control their own monetary policy.

Absolute garbage. The EU Army will be used only against the nation states that would want to leave the EU or resist Brussels' encroachment. NATO is large enough to fight any intruder in Europe, and this force includes the USA and other non-EU countries. So the idea of an EU army being a "larger" force is incorrect. The EU already operates closely together in an inter-military fashion, and some regions already band together to fight and train their units under one command structure (exmple: The Nordic Battle Group). There is no reason to have this "EU Army" except as a tool of intimidation.

I have been saying for years, what the argument is between anti-EU and pro-EU peoples boils down to a singular question: do you support removing the sovereignty of the member nations in order to create a Federal United States of Europe, or do you support the independence and sovereignty of European nations?

All other talking points, economics, immigration, etc, are merely secondary to the inevitable end-question of the EU and its goals.

Do you know what surrendering your independence will do? It will allow you far less control over your fate. If you counter with the false argument, "Hungary is already small and has a small voice.", realize, that we make up 1.9% of the EU's population. We will have even less of a say in the EU if we join a federation. We will be pointless in elections, in economics, etc, and our land will be a dumping ground for their failed policies. EU federalism would be the death of the Magyar nation, and many other Eastern countries as well.

The EU will keep on failing as it attempts to garner support of who it sees at "its" people (subject to constant political winds, of course) until the final call for the ultimate decision: to federalize, or not to federalize. If you think that the EU will do more looking outward than inward, you are wrong. Europe is far more diverse than the Anglosphere, and these differences will not go to sleep quietly after the "federalization celebration" ends. The EU army will force itself on anyone who attempts to peacefully leave the country. There is no future for Hungarians in the EU as 1.9% of the population.
