I'm from the EU. I don't know a single person that is against EU. Everyone among my friends and colleagues, including me, is strongly pro-EU.
At least I know that's a bubble, because I know anti-eu people exist in my country too. Get out of yours.
- carlosjobim 10mo agoLikewise, I've never met a person who has said they are for the EU or even strongly pro-EU. So it must be a question of which of the EU member countries you are in or other kind of bubbles. > Get out of yours. I suggested in my original post that Germans seem to be pro-EU. And probably neighbouring countries too. Here in this thread also appeared a fanatically pro-EU Spaniard. In Nordic countries, I've never met a person who would admit they were pro-EU. Of course they must exist, since presumably half the people voted yes to join, a few decades ago. In the end it seems to be no more complicated than people who benefit financially from EU redistribution of money are pro-EU and the people who have to pay the bill for it are against the EU.
- saubeidl 10mo agoEvery single EU countries population prefers EU leadership over their own national leadership. https://news.gallup.com/poll/657860/member-states-show-strong-support-brussels.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/657860/member-states-show-stron... fwiw: I definitely am paying the bill. But I'm also strongly pro-EU. Taxes are a membership fee for a functioning society.
- carlosjobim 10mo agoAs I said, I don't give much for opinion polls. And comparing two sides as you do now, doesn't mean that people are fond of either side. You can prove anything with statistics. The last opinion poll I saw for my country of birth was both the EU and the national government at a less than 50% approval rate.
