Well I am sorry. You sound like what my left voting  EU loving friend calls an 'organisation man'
A man whose choices in life are not between freedom and slavery, but *which* organisation to sell his soul to .
His attitude is 'we have to be part of something bigger and the EU is the best game in town'.
My attitude is 'why do we have to be part of something bigger,  and if we do why can't it be voluntary and based on mutual interest, rather than colonial?'.
I dont *join* companies. I used to merely work for them, and  then I ran them. I wouldn't dare start a company now. EU legislation  and regulation which hasn't been dismantled here makes it almost impossible for a small enterprise to comply with the law.
Its all put in place by big companies using the EU to create a legally binding barrier to entry for small companies.,
Minimum wage. H & S, Diversity.
It reminds me of apartheid S Africa, I worked for a guy who had three employees. Myself, a Zulu gut and a Zulu girl plus his wife who came in and did accounts.
BY LAW we jade to have FOUR fucking toilets. One for each sex and each race.
At least we didn't have to add a couple of disabled ones and another two   for mothers to change their babies nappies...all because of a stupid political ideology handed down by a bunch of chancers in Pretoria.
I don't want to be a colony of Brussels, and I don't see why e.g. Austria or  Denmark would,  either.
I have no problem with being a member of NATO because it is an organisation that people voluntarily join and can leave any time they want, They don't because it provides value for money for everyone. And it is broadly democratic.
Europe and its nations are probably the most civilised in the whole world. I cant see why they would trade all that to be run by a bunch of overpaid corrupt bureaucrats sitting in a small town in a small country that no one would otherwise visit.
I cant help feeling that there are far better ways for European nations to co-operate and share with each other, than that.
When I say the EU has to go, I don't mean I personally want to dismantle it,. I mean it is simply not fit for purpose.
Any more than apartheid was in S Africa.
We (Britain) repeatedly pushed for some reform in Brussels. We were politely told to fuck off.
So we did.

Greetings
