Or they can continue to be the EuroTittie that all the nations suck on. Take your lumps, leave the EU and get back on track. not like you didn’t have a long, storied history before the EU.

Being devils advocate for a moment, it could be argued that whilst it would be nice to see the EU implode, what if it didn’t and we left and we’d be an isolated country facing the combined and pooled diplomatic, political and economic resources of a very large and spurned quasi-empire that will want to crush us and make us suffer for our impertinence at leaving them. We don’t have the juice to negotiate on equal terms with a political entity 10 times our size in population and a much larger economy.

:') If the UK is getting a defacto subsidy for staying in the EU, that subsidy must be coming from, shall we say, more prosperous EU members -- so, why would those other gov'ts be so hot to get the UK to stay in?
