UK Brexit, questions from an American

[Dystopia]

That was the original idea... But... It's not working that well. Poorer states continue poorer and the EU organizations are dominated by the most powerful (economically and politically) states like Germany, France, etc.

You don't know much on how the voting system of the European council and the commission works, do you? Surprisingly so, since it's in the public domain and an interested party would have looked up the information already.

Actually, I spent a year studying a subject called "European Law" - It was mandatory in second year of law school - Do I remember everything I studied? Certainly no - It has been something like two years or more, but I do remember reaching the conclusion that in the midst of all the institutions the European comission holds the greatest power. On top of that - And I presume you know this - The European comission isn't directly elected by the people at all. This tells us something. To say that countries like Greece hold the same influence on the European institutions like Germany or France is, in my opinion, a foolish idea. 

For me this isn't about how others are doing - I'm expecting decent results and hope for a bright future for myself as a young person. If I look around me and what I see is unemployment and other things that will make my life harder to the point I've consider immigration, then I have no reason to trust the institution that allegedly is in charge of improving my country (and others') economic and social conditions
