Interesting. I’ve spent a lot of time in the UK recently, and find most people are very happy not to be tangled in the economic mess of the EU. Turns out they were getting tired of paying for social programs in countries like Greece and Italy.
Come to think of it, many Germans I speak to feel the same way.

Yes, exactly. EU is huge bureaucracy. They take a lot of money and spend them on all king of projects. To get any money for any project is a nightmare of paperwork.
Plus, EU is now using these to force countries to adopt laws they do not like.
Kind of like US uses money to force states to adopt laws feds like, but states do not. I remember 55 mi speed limit was forced on states because of federal road subsidies.
