> F. that, the only viable solution I see for my country is an exit from the EU, but the money (still) coming in from Bruxelles is too good to leave aside for pesky political principles, so of course that no serious politician from around these parts puts the problem that way. Without any shadow of a doubt, the EU is trying to create a super state. In its original scope it was a trade union, but it has clearly exceeded its mandate. They now actively look towards creating an army and will be soon forced to start significantly increasing taxes (for complex reasons). Your sovereignty is worth the cost in the long run. You get a large EU tax, and then Brussels decides that it knows how to spend your money better than your own government. Maybe (maybe) you receive an excess amount from Brussels, but there are also hidden costs. One is a slower and more complex political system with many more actors. Another is uncontrolled migration which the EU is currently plagued with. Another is that you are forced to engage in ideological investments your Country may not be aligned with.
