Should the European Union end?
July 25, 2014 at 10:30 pm
The question is pretty clear:
Should the EU end? And why/why not?
This poll is aimed at Europeans but Americans are free to answer as long as you provide a justification.
I'm a euro skeptical so I'll go with 'yes'.

The world seems to be going through a tribalism spasm where everyone wants to live with their own kind....especially if their own kind happens to be assholes.
The EU is an example of the opposing force to that tendency.
I predict it will not end well, though.

Of course it should end - it undermines democracy!

I like the general idea of the EU but in practice it doesn't seem to work all that well. Problem is if we dissolve it now, it will probably do more harm than good to European nations as Chuck mentions. I'd like to stay in the EU and have it massively reformed but I don't know what that would entail and whether it would be all that realistic.

No it should not end. It has succeeded in preventing a major war between european states which had been a main activity since time immemorial.
The more conjoined we are the better.
Its when we are separated that the problems start.
