it's sort of missing the main point, the main obstacle is and always has been: language
in terms of the UK, an order of magnitude more emigrated outside of the EU than exercising freedom of movement within it
(despite having to put up with stuff like visas)
- dgellow 3y agoYes, language is for sure an obstacle, that's totally valid. I'm originally from the French-speaking region of Switzerland, even just moving to a different canton within the country can be daunting due to the fact that we have 3 languages (not counting Romansh, it isn't really used), and people only speak decent English in the most international cities: Geneva and Zurich. I'm in the minority of European who would love to see English being adopted as a sort of official common second-language. That will never happen but I think it would be fantastic if the region would feel less fragmented.
