European Union, yay or nay?

I'm pretty neutral on it, although I am leaning slightly towards Euroscepticism. Give me compelling arguments as to what your position is.

It should be more economics and less laws and ethics.

It's bound to fail, because it's trying to unify people in countries whom have too many differences.

I'll be voting to leave.

I think most Eurosceptics oppose the European Union for the wrong reasons, but as it stands the EU has the uncanny appearance of a burgeoning superstate with a rubber-stamped executive. The single currency is a failure, and the future of the EU will demand it either break up or head for greater centralisation.

At least for the U.K., there's no space to be sat on the periphery of a two-speed Europe.

I find it ironic how the original intentions were to prevent Germany from dominating Europe again and now 70 years later the result has been a German dominated Europe lmao.

It does seem that the UK is one of the most distant countries in the EU, culture-wise. Well, there's also the separation by sea thing going on, as well, that no doubt influences that.

As for my opinion on the EU, while I don't understand all the grievances people have with it, I think it should be more united now than ever with a more aggressive Russia on the rise. NATO is one thing, yes, but the EU is also one I think needs to unite and stand up against Russia's increased nose poking.

Splitting it apart would only allow them to do more.

To be honest, I need to start looking into this more so I have a reasonable basis to make a decision when the referendum comes about.
