EU is just a way for a few states (France, Germany) to get rich on the back of smaller satellite states.
First they make sure the smaller states have no way to regulate their imports and then outcompete local production with mass-produced goods; then when they go bankrupt (like Greece) they destroy the economy with "austerity" and transfer control of the important assets to large finance centered in the big countries like Germany.
This is why the Euro is so important. It removes any control of finance from the smaller countries and ensure the undemocratic elements that control the EU can dictate their financial policy.
EU is a supranational mafia family controlled by international finance. Now they have set their eyes on Scotland... I hope England do what is right to protect the Scots.
