Sad to see you go.

But maybe now, when there is no UK to veto it, we might finally some badly needed reforms to the EU, especially the ones that will bring us closer together. The globalized world is a big place. Together we can compete, seperated we are already lost.

Besides, if the EU does not implement a strong EU wide social program (among many other things) to balance out the quality of life inequalities... we will all soon be living in Germany. With the freedom of movement its already happening.


What reforms would you like to see that the UK previously vetoed? Genuinely curious since I don't follow EU politics very closely.


What I missed from the whole exit affair, is a fare/smart/and not partisan EU considerations of the reasons for this. It is very very sad for me the UE choice (from the press, especially) to minimize everything to a right wing egoistic behavior will, mixed with mass ignorance.

It could have been a great opportunity to have a better EU.



Whoops
