He is talking about a 5 eye state and nuclear power, which left an economic union, losing the benefits of said union and calls it bullying as if nation states were toddlers.
- gizajob 3y agoBut you just summed up how the central government and bureaucrats of the EU treat nation states...
- jemmyw 3y agoThe nation states in the EU agreed to join knowing they'd negotiate with third party countries as a bloc. And they benefit from that. The EU is doing to the UK what it's meant to do, protecting the interests of EU nation states. The UK wants to do 1:1 negotiating because then it's a more even playing field, but that's almost certainly a detriment to each state within the EU. Occasionally some politician in the EU is going to be swayed to argue in favour of individual negotiation. But, as far as I know, no nation is pushing for a change at the EU level. If they were I'd expect it to be for political rather than economic reasons anyway, i.e. somewhere like Hungary wanting to have a trade relation with Russia against EU policy.
