Are you talking about Germany only?
In Sweden and Norway we have had parties that want to leave EU on both side of the political spectrum.
The EU question has many aspects to it, in particular when it comes to fees, democratic control over laws, and voting rights. You need strong incentives to keep smaller countries that pay way more than they get back and which voting impact is dwarfed by larger countries. An argument I see in both countries is to simply force EU to lower the EU membership fee by putting down an ultimatum.

- hef19898 5y agoHow would Norway leave the EU before joining it in the first place?
- belorn 5y agoNorways has a special deal with EU. One interpretation (might be unfair) is that they basically have all the responsibilities of an EU member but without voting rights. They do also pay some fees, through I think it is much smaller in total. In return they are part of the European Economic Area, which include most aspects of free movement and following of EU regulations.
