Giving money to poor areas isn't actually proof of anything besides money is taken from some other regions and given to others. Who gets what in the EU is purely based on the various countries and organizations ability to make the most out of it. Denmark had an area which spend billions subsidizing various efforts with EU money without any success. So while that might be great for the local community getting money from the EU isn't a sign of anything besides the EU gives out money based on your ability to get money of out the EU. It's not based on some system of fairness or priority. The pound is not going to collapse just as little as the Danish krone did when we decided not to be part of the Euro. Back then the amount of scaremongering about what would happen to Danish economy was insane, yet Denmark is one of the countries who fared best after 2008 and still have tripple a rating. The EUs funds are largely there for the taking. If you can make a case based on some vague notions you can get money from the EU. That can easily be solved by the individual countries instead.
