OP here.
There won't be trade tariffs otherwise we'll put trade tariffs on other countries which will negate any tariffs in the first place.
I'm really after what other Europeans think of the current state of the EU, but I can get in to a slanging match if you want.

As a Frenchfag i love uk but i've always felt like they thought they were too good for us. I'm not surprised you left and also a bit disappointed since Europe is a dream of peace of cooperation and you just left at the first difficulties. I'm not mad tho, uk's always been acting this way.

Might be right or wrong. I still think European unity is something to preserve.

>>720016637
>fully support Brexit,
Haha, fucking moron. Let me elaborate.
> I don't believe countries will stop trading with us
Of course not, but to an extent. Brits will always need goods that they cannot generate themselves, and as long as there's money to be made, it'll happen. But things will be more expensive for you. The bigger problem, however, with you losing access to the EU internal market is that and a significant proportion of the 'goods' will go elsewhere. I say 'goods' because a large part of what is driving your economy is non-material, as in, stock trading and facilitating transactions on the main land. This type of trading will become much more expensive to do in London, so it'll probably move to Frankfurt or Dublin. It's easy to move because essentially it doesn't matter where it happens (because it's digital trading) as long as trading taxes are low.

Aside from that, you'll lose access to all kinds of EU subsidies for science. That may seem unimportant to you, but in the long run it'll significantly stagnate technological development for British companies, because inevitably the science is going to be done elsewhere. You'll lose expertise, because there will be fewer jobs in science and so people will go to the mainland for work. I'm in neuroscience, and some of my friends working in the UK are already making plans to move to Germany or Netherlands.

Most idiotic of all things, immigration (despite what UKIP wants you to believe) is good for economic development in the long run. Especially in countries like Germany (and the UK) where birth counts are low, you need an influx of young people to combat population ageing and keep the buffers of pension funds sustainable.

>>720017424
>There won't be trade tariffs otherwise we'll put trade tariffs on other countries which will negate any tariffs in the first place.
Yeah. So we'll have trade tariffs both ways. That's inevitable.

You're begging us not to punish you after what you just did. How long untill you realise you are not above us.

The subsidies you think the EU so 'generously' gives the UK is just half the 20 billion we give them each year so I don't think we're going to lose out too much there.
As for immigration, we're not saying we want to cut ourselves off but have controlled immigration, something that few people seem to understand.

>>720018051
Fully support, you got a point.

>>720018051

I'd agree with everything except the immigration part, the low population problem must be resolved from within, importing large masses of unqualified immigrants wont be supporting any pension funds as their salaries will come from unqualified work which generates low salaries and consequently low deductions.

>>720016637
Amerifat here. Sounds like a lot of butthurt itt. Seems like they're pissed because you left their circle jerk... I don't understand all this globalization stuff. It benefits in the short term, but can cause problems in the long run, and ends up being like an arms run or a colonization-like clusterfuck.

We wish you good luck out on your own, we can still be friends.

>>720018938
One of the big arguments seems to be other EU members citizens won't be able to work here. What I think should happen is all the lazy cunts who claim benefits are TOLD that they do the jobs or no FREE MONEY. If we then need an extra 50.000 people we let 50.000 people in to the UK. We don't need to be taking in 300.000 extra people every year.

>>720018651
>The subsidies you think the EU so 'generously' gives the UK is just half the 20 billion we give them each year so I don't think we're going to lose out too much there.
The British government will compensate scientific institutions for only two years. After that, they lose funding. The government probably could pay for it, but the reality is that they won't.

>As for immigration, we're not saying we want to cut ourselves off but have controlled immigration, something that few people seem to understand.
It's already controlled. You want to make it stricter, which is your right of course, but it'll hurt the economy in the long run.

>>720018938
The reality is that even if you import unqualified workers, their children tend to gain higher salaries due to better education than their parents and consequently contribute more. This is a multi-generation effect, not one that manifests itself immediately. Aside from that, of course it'd be good if birth counts were to go up natively, but that's rather difficult to manage.

>>720020848
>Well then anon does that mean I have to believe in it?
It most certainly does not.

The thing is, the EU is in large parts responsible for keeping globalization in check. The people you hear complaining about globalization often in the same breath complain about EU regulations, when it's those regulations that protect small businesses and, ultimately, consumers.

>Is the EU in as good a shape as they would like you to believe

If anything, the EU will get stronger now that the UK is finally out.
As much as I like the English people, the UK, and specifically England, have been sabotaging the EU for decades, trying as much as possible to turn it into a Thatcherian/Reaganian shithole, which is one of the reasons people are so defiant nowadays about the EU.
Speaking of which, it's fucking hilarious listening to Britons whining about immigrants, when it's the UK itself that opposed giving the EU the tools it needed to strengthen its borders.

Regardless, the EU isn't only about establishing an internal market, it's about ensuring European cultural and geopolitical independence.
I've travelled enough to realise that Europeans have more in common than they think, which is only logical when you know two fucks about the history of Europe.
There's obvious cultural differences, but these are mostly cosmetic and behavioural, Europeans have core values distinguishing them from the rest of the world, including Western places such as the US, and these values are endangered by existing or growing powers such as the US, China, or even India, Russia and Africa in a forseeable future.

Anyone not realising that the EU is the only way to ensure our political and economic freedom and our survival as a culture is an ignorant and narrowminded fool digging Europe's grave while boasting about

>aren´t even realy democratic

The European institutions literally work like any other liberal democracy in Europe.
The European Parliament is elected and voting the law.
The Commission is akin to your own government, it's elaborating laws, and just like our national governments and their ministers, it isn't elected but appointed.
The European Council setting the general direction is made of elected heads of state/government.
Etc.

If anything, the EU is more democratic than most of our countries, along with the aforementioned similar democratic structure, the elaboration of European laws goes through a lenghty process involving several steps asking the opinion and input of the whole european civil society.
The problem is, and that's a real problem, most people don't understand how it works, because they don't give a fuck about it, and/or they are brainwashed by the medias and/or stereotypes about the EU, and/or the whole process isn't clear enough to most people.
So they don't get involved with that process, and whine when things are finally set in motion and goes against what they'd like.

Btw, it's hilarious to hear Britons whine about the lack of democracy in the EU, when half of their own parliament, the House of Lords, is made of unelected aristocrats.

Whelp, then I'm sorry to say, but you're either an idiot or simply not informed enough.

I think we're screwed for a simple logical reason:

the EU can't afford for the UK to be in a better position after Brexit than it is now, with respect to trade and free movement. If we were in a better position every other country would also want to leave, leading to the demise of the EU.

Therefore we have to be in a worse position than we are now, or at best a comparable one.

This, I suppose, comes down to a fundamental disagreement on what democracy entails.
>the independence of each country
Each country has a say that is proportional to their share in the seats in the European parliament. Small parties of individual states form coalitions with like-minded parties from other nations, so that ultimately, the parliament is a pretty accurate reflection of the political views that the citizens of individual member states hold. This is similar to US congress, where individual states contribute congressmen.
>In what way would It allow each country to make its own changes and choices?
Pretty much the way it is now. Particular economic problems that aren't easily regulated properly by individual states (such as tragedy of the common phenomena, think over fishing) are regulated at the EU level. Individual freedom of nation states should never have priority over the common good.
>What if they don't support the multiculturalist agenda
Countries are pretty much free to set their own immigration policy from countries outside of the EU. The current crisis is called a crisis for a reason, it is a specific set of exceptional circumstances that require us to rethink how we handle these things.
>How do you assure everyone has an equal say, and not one person using it as their empire?
Ironically, this is why the EU was founded. It was to ensure that one nation could never rise to take control of Europe ever again. It's doing that job extraordinarily well, and we should value that.

>>720024489

"The free-market thinktank cites the example of Panama and other Latin American countries that use the dollar as proof that the informal use of another country’s currency “can foster a healthy financial system and economy”."

"the war" you're talking about is not a single event on a determined location with an equilibrium of the force between beligerants...
People move to another continent at the moment they're forced to.
Yes the wealthy people from Alepo moved first, years ago, but what about people from Damascus, where the situation is nowhere near the same? Anyway you don't see these people because they speak english, have relations, jobs and they're not sleeping in the streets.
Then you have all the middle class (engineers, doctors, lawyers, electricians, students...) who flee'd to Europe second and they're the one you see asking for refugee status and living in the emergency housing centers for migrants.
The poorest are stuck in Turkey/Hungary/Greece and you won't see them reach Germany/France/UK/Sweden. That's why you have a mostly QUALIFIED young workforce that will take any job offered, paying taxes and stimulating growth, sustaining our pension system (especially in France and Germany).

Also, poles and pole speaking make 1% of the UK population, they must have super powers to be able to take on all the jobs..

Personally I would like it if this system was smaller. Too many ways to hurt other uninvolved countries within the eu, too close to the ally system that ended up with ww2. I also dislike how childlike they deal with other countries leaving, and so on. It just looks bad, and I think it wasn't the way to handle it. That was helpful and it definitely influenced my views however. Thanks for not being an asshole anon

You have fuck all clue about lorry driving. I go to france and germany from london. Poles risk the fines because they are poor as shit and never pay when they get caught. To get a lorry driving license in poland is a joke. You can ride a bike and pass. In the uk it costs up to 5 grand.

>we can´t unite countrys with different inflation ratios under one currency
Actually we can, Germany did this several times, even in peace.

It just needs to go for a real union, which was the course until some faggots dropped the ball because of "muh control" - which was never theirs to begin with.
Leaving would be understandable if they regained direct control over something, but all they got was losing checks on their governments.

Union is the course as it has always been. It either comes with annexion oder with unity. If you leave the unity way while not able to annex shit, you'll lose everything. Every country in the EU hopes that upon leaving, they get the switzerland treatment. Military safety and economy prosperity by being embedded in a supranational system of allies, but if this system fails and everyone is up to oneself again, we're royally fucked.

See with that sort of language you're just the same as the idiots on /pol/..just be less edgy and look at things as they are.

Most immigrants from that region ARE NOT qualified, just deal with it, a friend of mine worked on an immigrant triage in Salzburg and he said most of them barely spoke English and their skills were doubtful at best.

Example, one accountant from Damascus didn't even knew how to work an excel sheet let alone using accounting software, not to mention his English was part loose phrases, part sign language. He'd require formation from the ground up in order to get a job as assistant accountant.

UK's fairly irrelevant. It's still pumped up with old money, but that won't be the case when this brexit thing of yours goes through. I do support brexit but for different reasons than you do. You see UK has a bad habbit of sabotaging EU and its members time after time, and overall trying to undermine wellbeing of others. Whatever you may think of yourself in your small inbred circles, I assure you it's delusional. As for now UK is gentem non grata. You've proven that you can't be a team player and you proved that you can't be trusted, and now you're trying to pull off a stupid stunt. We don't want to do business with you anymore. Please leave.

As for the necessarity of EU; yes, I think EU is necessary to make irrelevant countries (like UK) relevant in the world politics and economics. It has to be a power which can compete against other powers. Would I do some structural changes to it? Yes, but I wouldn't demolish and rebuild it.

So without open boarders Euopean lorry drivers couldn't drive across the continent but you could?

Do you think that the UK Government making it so expensive faor haulage firms to register trucks in the UK made companies think 'fuck it, we'll just do the whole shit from the continent'

Do you think UK consumers having an ever growing lust for cheaper goods means that logistics firms get squeezed on things liek wages?

Our currency is already controlled by an external entity: the BANK OF ENGLAND. As well as Kosovo I also used other examples.

Greece and Spain use the Euro. Totally different situation you massive spastic.

You've yet to come up with a coherent argument why this is not economically possible. Yes it'll be tough, and things will be hard, but it's a much better situation than the one we're heading to now for reasons stated in my original post.

>>720027117
I'm still not sure what you're asking. If I paraphrase, what you're asking is: is the UK better off spending the money that was destined for the EU, on their own economy? No.

The term 'net contributor' only takes into account how much a nation pays in EU fees versus how much funds it gets back directly. Indirect effects, for instance through access to the internal EU market, aren't taken into account. Every single EU member state makes money through that mechanism, more than they contribute to the EU. The net effect is that the UK will have less to spend, all things considered.

>>720026105
that was still very shitty, even if you learnt it yesterday
as for your points, the eu is more democratic than most eu govs., countries must meet certain standards (including for inflation) to join the euro and where is it that the eu wastes its frankly tiny budget? only thing i can think of is rural development, one of the highest payoff longterm strategies they have and something short-sighted governments would never do

Hey mate, fellow Brit.

With your concerns for control and sovereignty, I'm curious on your thoughts about the House of Lords. I appreciate the monarchy is largely irrelevant within the government, but the House of Lords are unelected and make actual decisions that effect us. Do you believe the HoL should be abolished?

>>720027043

No you dickhead. I never said it was impossible, I said it was shit. Why would anyone want interest rates set by a country they want independence from? England could intentionally cause a recession in Scotland and we would not be able to do anything about it. OUR ECONOMIC POLICY WOULD BE DICTATED STRAIGHT FROM ENGLAND YOU MUG. Kosovo is a shithole, no use talking about them.

Oh and Spain's youth unemploymebt is 40% and Greece has a 72% negative view on the EU. Good examples.

>>720027117
net contribution does not mean you have more left to spend if you drop it. The EU is not a subscription that you pay with a single check over your net contribution. You use the EU institutions to distribute the money, use partnerships to get discounts and get for instance cheaper products by subsidies.

There is so much connect over the free market, that it is even possible you have less money left afterwards.

Thats why this is a very interesting experiment because those calculations have never been made before, and it's good that the UK got out the hard way. So we all will know.

From the official statistics:

>Education Level
Since 43 percent of the Syrian refugees are under the age of 14, and 56 percent are under 20, Syrian refugees tend to be less educated. 9.4 percent have a technical, university, college, or graduate school level of education. Since the refugee flow skews young, this group should become more educated as they age.

Basically 9.4% have Syrian level education..

Germanfag here.

The EU should have never become more than a/the European Economic Community. A region of (tax) free trade.
No common currency, no open borders and no fucking political decisions coming from Brussels.

I'm not saying this because of weird nationalistic thoughts or looking down at other countries. It was and still is just a stupid idea to force countries that are so different into a community. With so much differences in culture, politics and economics it was doomed to fail and will do so.

Oh and before you start argue that the EU is a good thing so there will never be a war in Europe again, you, I and everyone knows that wouldn't happen anyway. Todays world is controlled by companies, commerce and money.

However, something I'm also tired of is this Merkel bashing everywhere. No, I'm not a fan of hers but what are the alternatives? Right, there are none. Just look at the candidates of the other big political parties. They are a complete joke.
And if you're honest, it doesn't matter who is on top of a country in todays world. They are all controlled by lobbyists, big companies and the media. Not to mention, are there any good leaders out there? Anywhere? I couldn't name one.

>>720028294

also, it's trade that prevents war in europe

>hurrdurr nignogs be coming

I can't hear that whining anymore. We are a fucking 510 Million people union and have exactly how many immigrants coming in?
Exactly. A wet fart. Yet it's all over the (alternative) media because it stinks in the fine noses of some idiots. Fucking half of Africa needed to come here to even outnumber us.

Yes the immigration crisis is a problem to solve. That's why it's called a crisis. If the people turn retarded over something so miniscule like some foreigners, how fit are they for worse to come?

They are effectively leveraging rape.
