The EU is about a united/cohesive and strong Europe. Ukraine is a european country outside kf EU and look what kind of issues they have and how the other european countries responded.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoI'll leave 'strong' aside for the moment. Looking at united/cohesive, how united/cohesive do you want to see EU member countries become? Would you like to see a United States of Europe? If not, where do you draw the line, what decisions should national governments retain control over?
- themihai 10y agoWith border controls in place people don't feel very united and the border control was the main reason why the UK had to leave EU. I think the more integrated EU becomes the better for all so you end-up with USE but this should take time(i.e 100 years). To sum it up UK is not interested in the EU values or political integration. It wants just a trade agreement so I fail to see how EU could meet its demands.
- ZenoArrow 10y ago> "border control was the main reason why the UK had to leave EU" No, it wasn't. Again, at the risk of repeating myself, the reasons for leaving the EU were far more diverse than the mainstream media led people to believe. If you think that the main reason for leaving was border control then you've been lied to, it's as simple as that.
- themihai 10y agoI hope you are right...will see how it goes on the negotiations table. Freedom of movement is still required to access the EU market.
