If you believe funds from foreign countries does not improve the economy then Poland is the greatest profiter from the EU at the moment. Profits the most from cheap Polish labour (all truck drivers these days are Polish), from free movement of labour (there's hundreds of thousands of Poles in the Netherlands alone), from EU funds (biggest net profit from it), while not enjoying any repercussion (has taken in only a handful of refugees, no Euro). To think Poland is better off outside the EU you must either be using nationalist arguments or get your information from a very bad source.

Worse off, and I hope we'll vote to leave in June, but we probably won't

The funds we get would improve our economy but how does that calculate with what we put in to the EU? Everybody knows how much money we got but no one is able to say how much money we pay as an EU member. People leaving is good for the people but not for the country. Those people work hard and benefit Western economies and likely spend most of their pays in countries where they work.

And here is exactly why I oppose the EU. I made this post in the other thread, but y'all are too lazy to read/look.

I disagree on how the EU looks like. My country and other 2004 joiners were baited into it by donations which were not calculated well enough and no one really knows how much we actually pay into the budget. And in the end, it's a debt we will have to repay, as the funds will stop and the money we pay will increase. This, combined with our debt will give tragic results.

Moreover, this debt was given to us under the condition of resigning from parts of our sovereignity. The EU does not protect our interests at all, given that Germany and Russia are building Nord Stream, which lowers our energetic security.

Furthermore, my country has been the subject of neocolonialism ever since we joined the EU. I barely see anything produced in my country whenever I enter any shop. Nearly all industrial works have been bought by foreigners and stopped functioning, while the foreign sellers took their place. And the money spent on the products does not benefit my country but goes to foreigners.

Also, EU supports nationalism in Ukraine, while the very same people glorify Stepan Bandera whose nationalist troops murdered 100,000 Poles while ethnically cleansing what now is Western Ukraine. By supporting Ukraine, we also got into a completely unnecessary conflict with Russia.

We also have to pay large money to EU bureaucrats who sit on their arses in Brussels and do absolutely nothing productive. What exactly do we need a European Parliament for?

The EU is pits. Ever since I'm politically aware I oppose this scam.

Also, why can Germany not obide EU law and the rest can't?

staying out of it

But we have special deals so we're more controlled and pay more to help EU countries than other EU countries are/do I think we'd be worse off if we were to join though. It's almost a 50/50 kind of thing between the people.

Germany is literally the most important member, the EU would cease to exist without them. Also right-wingers have always been there, just look at what they did during the 90s because of refugees.

Germany is better off. But the growing German resentment in Europe makes me question if we wouldn't be better off outside the EU, like Switzerland.

pretty sure they're all better off lol

Worse off

i ameri-can't relate to these issues

Neutral. If the EU didn't exist the US would probably be no different.
