Your country sacrificed its economy and probably its unity to rid us Europeans of English politicians. The reasons for it might be disgusting, but all in all it was a beautiful act.

Speaking of getting back on track. The main purpose of the European project was the following. Since France and Germany (in their various forms) have always been at war with each other in one way or another. Having an economical union would see that they are interdependent of each other and will make cooperation beneficial. So far it has done it's job marvelously.

I find it fucking funny how much the fucking English have fucked up with Brexit.

They've essentially destroyed their economy beyond recovery, destroyed their place on the world stage, and even destroyed their union (Scotland demands a referendum, Northern Ireland demands a referendum, London demands a referendum, and Wales is on the verge of seeing how corrupt westminster has become)

As a Scot I can't fucking wait for England to crumble; we'll escape from their yoke and become enriched by being both a independent nation and a respected leader in the EU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union

Wiki has some pretty good info on this. As stated by some in this thread, the purpose of the EU was to prevent conflict between nations, individual nations becoming larger and taking over land from other nations and prevent the occurrence of super nations (like what germany was trying to be during WW2.).

"After World War II, European integration was seen as an antidote to the extreme nationalism which had devastated the continent."

There's also an older movement that existed before the EU that sought mostly similar goals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paneuropean_Union

>They've essentially destroyed their economy beyond recovery

He's right though, it did screw itself over. It's gonna take a few years to recover.
>>
>>1434889

So was the UK's economy permanently fucked when the pound reached 1.05 against the dollar in 1985?

Currencies, specifically reserve currencies, reflect the stability of the country which governs it. When things are unstable, people sell off that country's reserve currency and buy something they think is more secure, hence everyone bailing on Euros and Sterling to buy the Yen. Once the Brexit process is sorted out and things return to normal, the pound will go back up as people reinvest. The current losses are paper losses. 15% of the UK's economic infrastructure did not magically burst into flames when the Brexit vote count came through.

>>1434903

It'll take a little while to recover but they'll be stronger for it in the long run.

The thing about them destroying their place on the world stage in nonsense, anyone can see that the EU is a federalizing project and an independent country will always have more influence than a province/state, which is what the UK would inevitably become if it remained in the EU for another 30, 40 years.

Integration of currencies, customs, border controls, and now talk of integrating army and fiscal policy and there was previously (perhaps currently as well?

That's the end goal. They've said as much before.

Because that one single market was putting barriers in place for trade with the rest of the world. I know, I export to the EU, they had massive tariffs on Chinese products (in some cases 30%+). Being independent will allow the UK to tailor its trading policy to exactly what it needs.

For example, the UK currently consumes much more steel than it produces; currently they'd have to buy European steel at a significant markup instead of Chinese, South African, Russian etc. steel. Being independent, they can now buy from whomever they want to if they so desire, put trade incentives in place if they want to encourage their own domestic industry, etc etc. Same with practically every other trade good. A UK-specific trade policy will always be better than a general EU policy.

Aside from that, the EU still exists and walls have not popped out of ground all around the EU, preventing Britain from trading with them. They can still trade with the EU, just as an outside country now.

I don't know. Check what the representatives and senators voted on foreign policy issues. And what happened the last time you had a texan president too.

I'm pretty sure that even though texans do not have the final say in foreign policy, their membership of the USA let them have a say in issues they wouldn't have been able to influe on otherwise.
And Texas wouldn't have become as important economically and demographically as it is without being in the union.

Is the problem not that influence is lost, but that the label on it changes from country X to union Y ?

Also, are you in favor of the independence of your county from the UK ? Why not, and why wouldn't you apply the same logic to the UK ?

The immigrant crisis has forced all members on implementing some policies. The immigrants were coming either way. Now if we are in control, we get to decide where and when and how many. That was the general idea. Though, I will concede that our current policies haven't met up with expectation and we do need to do more.
>>
>>1435032
This only works for imports, and/or trade with large established economies, plus running an import based economy only works for so long, until the current account deficit gets severly affected, and their current account deficit is pretty bad already.

Being outside of the free market as a country for whom the EU accounts for 62% of trade exports means the EU will be able to toy with tariffs at will where the UK is concerned. If any continental lobby wants British products severely disadvantaged at export to the EU, they will get their way.

So that is in no way good news for the UK.

Now, say the UK wants to compensate by exporting to the rest of the world. Well they already export to the US, and they may get a deal with the US, which will help, but only to an extent. Plus, they won't hold as much weight in negociations with big players such as China or Brazil or the US, which means they won't be getting the best deal they could hope for.
How about trading with emerging countries? Well unluckily for the UK, ECs need the import tariffs to keep afloat more often than not, and it is in any case a great boost to their economy. They won't be lowering tariffs for the UK exports any time soon.

tl;dr: The UK's current account deficit will get worse, their trade balance will go even further down the shitter unless they get an EU trade agreement.

Literally a lie. The EU does not have a common foreign and security policy.

Like what the fuck is hits? This article says two facsts, a) EU has embassies (wow!!!!!! embassies!!!) and is in the UN (WOW!111) and then claims the EU is a potential superpower.

The EU is a dysfunctional mess that couldn't even bend Russia and has succumbed to demands from Turkey. Not a superpower nor a potential superpower in a hundred years.

Is this what you krauts actually tell yourselves? Go to the Cologne victims and tell them your policies just aren't meeting expectation but everything is under control, that they have to accept mass migration because it was "coming either way", just like the French PM said that France must "learn to live with terrorism".

And you think you will have a better leverage in making a trade agreement outside of the EU rather than inside?

>>
>>1435055

I would say quite different with regards to migration (which is the most important plank aside from war and trade), but aside from that it's about the same as any other non-EU western country's foreign policy, which is more or less the same as the EU's. Point is that the UK is free to engage or disengage from the EU on foreign policy points now on whatever issue is on the table rather than having to come to an agreement with 27 other countries about a coordinated foreign action; I don't see how the contrary would be true (diminished influence) if they're independent, unless they were particularly persuasive in the EU parliament. But even then, wouldn't they be able to do the same independent?

>>1435041

I would say yes as the EU is ~1/5th of the world's total GDP and leaving will give the UK greater ability to interact with the other 4/5s, but that's impossible to know. It's hard to tell how things will turn out at the moment. I will say that I don't think the EU negotiations will go south, as the UK is/was an overall importer of EU goods than an exporter, in other words if the EU puts in harsh trade barriers and the UK responds in kind, it would hurt the EU more than the UK. That said, they might just do it as a warning for others not to leave.

>>1435097

I wouldn't be in favor of my state's independence from the USA (yet) because I'm an American, Utah is American and we're still governed by Americans. The issue with the UK and the rest of the EU is other people infringing on the sovereignty, even slightly, of their member states. I'm of the opinion that a country should only ever be governed by its own people, should that be their choice, which is why I was in favor of the Scottish referendum in the past. I have no problem with people having a decision every once in a while as to whether or not they want to continue being governed as they are.

shifts and people begin to identify more as European than British etc., but that time hasn't come yet and it's fairly clear from polls around the EU that people are dissatisfied with the status quo.

>>1435065
>>1435241

I realized that after I wrote it due to the differences in how the USA and the EU work.

>>
>>1435294
The UK has a trade deficit you silly fool.
>>
>>1435127

That would be a worse case scenario.

On the other hand, being able to import cheap raw materials particularly steel, making British products more competitive on the world market and putting greater controls on migration (assuming they actually get their shit together on this point) to import skilled workers could result in a significant rise in GDP growth.

And while the UK exports 62% of its... exports to the EU, they still have a 60bn pound deficit with the EU. I strongly doubt they'd cut off their nose to spite their faces.

They'd have more freedom on trade deals as well. The British trade lobby, for example, will not have to take into account the Polish and German steelmakers when trying to trade with China, the governments of which would be certain to stonewall any sort of deal involving lowered to no tariffs for Chinese steel. I don't really see how they'd be on the backfoot with regards to negotiations. If anything, wouldn't they be more free?

I wish I had a crystal ball and could see 10 years into the future on this point.

I don't really see how they'd be on the backfoot with regards to negotiations. If anything, wouldn't they be more free?

Sure they'll be able to import some products cheaper, hell, everyone will be bandwagoning to export cheap to the UK as they will have diminished protectionist power. However their will still be barriers to exports, as I explained.
>>
>>1435366
Yes, and? It's my point, they are running a bloody huge trade deficit? Are you missing something?

>>1435387
Of course not, but they can put up high tariff barriers for certain products, and higher tariffs overall, making exporting UK products to the EU much more expensive, and as these products are manufactured products, you can bet there will be intra EU competition for these products.

>What are you trying to say? I don't get it.

Point is that I doubt the EU would try to screw over the UK via tariffs and customs controls when there is such a significant trade deficit, because of the risk that the UK would respond in kind.

Steel's also quite important to the UK economy still, pic related. I'm actually surprised that they manufacture as much as they do.

The trade deficit is for the UK, they trade at a large deficit, the EU only has minimal exports with the UK, nothing vital anyway. If the UK responded in kind, the EU would easily brush it off. It would be MUCH harder for the UK to find a new market for 62% of their exports than for the EU to find a market for 12-16% of theirs.

Evidently I am. You said that the UK isn't an overall importer of EU goods. It is. It very conclusively is. I'm saying that trade barriers would hurt the EU as a whole more than the UK because the UK imports far more EU products than it exports back and UK tariffs + the WTO are a thing. What exactly am I missing?

Ok, this is what you are missing;

The UK being a net importer of EU goods, DOES NOT EQUATE to the the UK being a MAJOR importer of EU goods. It only accounts for a SMALL portion of EU exports (and still runs a trade deficit with them) while on the other hand the EU represents a MAJOR part of UK exports.

The EU has much less to loose in this bargain than the UK.

I think that almost none could have foreseen this. We all expected better, I know I have. The shift in the mentality seemed so sudden, though I suppose it was brewing for a while.

You know surprisingly, Oxford did a study just after the Brexit. You would suppose that Brexit was motivated largely due to immigration. I'm not saying it wasn't, but there is probably more involved.

The study looked at the number of immigrants, and the fear of immigrants. It dates to, if I recall correctly about 1930, or so, until today. The number of immigrants have been steadily increasing, while the fear of immigrants hung at largely the same percentage. You would expect they would rise hand in hand. I guess Brits were always xenophobic. They like to contain themselves in their little island.
>>
>>1435871
>UK was supposed to be a leader, but it managed to antagonize everyone Against itself.

But the problem with Britain's place in the EU has been that it has never been seen as a leader of it and has never been able to see itself as benefiting from it, partly because no Briton has ever seen Britain as having a leadership role. To most Member States the EU has been seen as a Germany/French creature for decades. Britain has merely forestalled constant attempts at closer integration and centralisation until now.

>>1435918
>if I recall correctly about 1930, or so, until today. The number of immigrants have been steadily increasing

Gross immigration was at like 30,000 in the 1980s and 600,000 in the early 2010s. Small towns across the country have been ruined and London is pretty much seen as a foreign country. That "fear" of immigrants wouldn't have meant shit in this referendum if the numbers hadn't been so high.
>>
>>1435943
This.

Brits have perceived the EU as an external body that they have to submit to, rather than something they can benefit from and lead.

I am a Croat who welcomed our entrance in the EU because it made us a part of Europe proper and it seemed like one step closer to realization of unified strong Europe which was a dream that existed from the time of Augustus to Napoleon and it still exists. Naturally we always felt like we were a part of Europe and were affected by all the changes in it from the time Istria was a part of province Italia, to Cherlemagne, Habsburgs and later up until WW2. But nowadays it seems EU is less all-white strong central power that could someday stand against strong economies of the US and China and its becoming more of a multicultural cesspool which would see the end of our individual identities.

Well, since I don't know what it's all about, I'll say that this sounds fairly reasonable. Aren't you all against federalization of the EU? You want the EU to fix your domestic problems, yet you don't want close integrations, which would enable the EU to fix said problems. Honestly, this is an inherent problem within the EU.

The thing is, the "multicultural cesspool" the EU was/is is inherent to the various countries of the block that want it to be so. Just look at Sweden or Germany. They basically took the decision to soak up all these refugees without second thought, but other countries who didn't want them, didn't get them, and the EU in fine only came up with a very reasonable refugee dissemination plan of only a couple thousand per country.

On the other hand, this whole mess was caused by pourous EU borders due to them being managed by member states. As it happens, Greece was the way in this time around, and they aren't exactly the best suited to stop the flow of refugees at this time.

Had there been a common European border control system (which is being put in place now) at the time of the crisis' outbreak, this whole mess could have been averted or at least better dealt with.

To prove my point, the left wing MSF NGO is now painting the EU as being a bad guy in their new miniseries "Johnny the Migrant Hunter", which parodies Frontex as stupid fascists because they refuse entry to the poor highly skilled migrants.

The european technocrats didn't fuck anything up because they don't exist.

The european commission is made up of politicians from the member states, more often than not appointed to make member states happy rather than for their technical expertise: ==>Not technocrats

The council of Europe: ==>Not technocrats

The council of ministers: ==>Obviously not technocrats

The European parliament:==> Nope

The only "technocrats" are arguably the members of the ECB, and even they are not actual technocrats as they don't hold executive or legislative power.

No. The pound is still lower than pre-Brexit and the FTSE 250 hasn't made a complete recovery, although it should soon enough, true.

It still is a great idea, and it's probably the greatest thing that happened on this godforsaken Earth. It always tops the list of the HDI, living standards, etc. If there is Heaven on Earth, this would come as close to it as possible.

Yeah.. The plan was written a long time ago, thus the brittish "owning" India. But they still continue it's original purpose to this day.

They give out prizes to all people who are involved with "European Integration". It's called the Charlemagne Prize, Merkel received one along with the philosophical cofounder of the union.

The quote is "fake" but the message is true:

Original quote:

>The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. TheEurasian-Negroidrace of the future, similar in its appearance to theAncient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals. ...

>Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit. This happened at the moment when Europe's feudal aristocracy became dilapidated, and thanks to Jewish emancipation.

The EU is a power grab by politicians across the continent who want to be free from democratic accountability, and get rich while at it.

It's pretty fucking obvious too. The bureaucrats' wages and tax exemptions are ridiculous. They use every crisis to push for further integration, including the ones their policies are directly responsible for. They're deep in bed with major banks and corporations, buying them off by making continent-wide laws to protect them. When José Manuel Barroso got succeeded by Juncker, he landed a nice cushy job at Goldman Sachs.

The EU is not a project for lasting peace. It is not a project to improve the quality of life and secure the rights of the average European. It is nothing but a project to cement the political and business elite's position by removing all accountability and competition, and if it won't be stopped then Europe will soon find itself mired in tyranny and lasting economic stagnation or recession.

Here's to hoping that Britain leaving is the first nail in its coffin, and that it can all come apart without fascists or commies taking over any country.

But it won't really. It'll just leave the EU parliament and lose its rights to have any active part in the Unions legislation.

Difficult times do lie ahead but I think this is a great opportunity for our country to make its mark in the world outwith the EU. I hope (perhaps optimistically) that the UK as a whole can get behind the decision to leave and work towards getting there. The main obstacle to Brexit working is internal division.

EU Commission and to a lesser extent ECJ being the judicial arm of the Commission are the real problems.

EU generally goes through periods of supranationalist and intergovernmentalist approaches, depending on how bad the times are. Right now it should scale down the binding, then some 10-15 years down the line if things stabilise it should go more supranational again. Unfortunately the current Commission is batshit crazy and wants to go full union which won't fly well with anyone.

Eurosceptics really love to focus on Kalergi don't they? You know Otto von Habsburg was also one of the greatest proponents of European integration, and he sure didn't want a "superior race" to emerge in Europe. It may come as a surprise to you, but not all Pro-Paneuropeans are diabolical reincarnations of Kalergi the Hivemind.

Plus your map just shows French and Dutch colonies as being part of Pan-Europa, duh. It's not a "race mixing agenda"

1. It's Kalergi's map. Not mine.

2. Kalergi is the very core of the European Union and his plan is very much still in effect. He was the first receiver of the Charlemagne Prize which is basically a multiculturalism contest. The current Pope was the last receiver of this " prestigious award".

3. Kalergi does not talk about creating a "superior race". He talks about degrading the European white race, Kalergi has already found his superior race: the Jewish semitic race.

4. It's mostly about degrading intelligence and divide/conquer tactics. The EU is a way of pacifying Europeans with shiny things and authoritarian legislation into submitting to their own destruction. The idea that a country isn't " rich" or has good standards of living if not an EU-country is part of that propaganda campaign.

And Von Habs. Was a multiculturalist at heart, wanting to strengthen the bonds between Abrahamist faiths. Surely a noble idea, just as noble as seizing the means of production. But it won't work, unless we are all deranged mongrels of a people.

>He was known as a supporter of the rights ofrefugeesand displaced people in Europe, notably of the ethnic Germans displaced from Bohemia where he was once the Crown Prince. He also held Francisco Francoin a high regard and praised him for helping refugees, stating that he was "a dictator of the South American type, not totalitarian like Hitler or Stalin"

It really doesn't matter what Pan-europeanists consider themselves as or what they wanted. They're not in charge. Supporting a diabolical plan and helping that plan entail is treason enough.

The EU is a pyramid scheme to fuck people over why the elite gets richer from it. The difference is that we are too well off and too employed to realise it's happening. Oh how we will wake up when the Stormfag log awaited race war comes. When people realize that you can't plunge people together without balkanisation around the corner.

1. It's Kalergi's map. Not mine.

Doesn't disprove the fact than the only reason Africa is part of the union is because it was colonised at the time, not for multiculti purposes.

2. Kalergi is the very core of the European Union and his plan is very much still in effect.

How is his plan still put in effect by the EU? What plan what that be by the way? The multiracial one? Because most immigrants came to Europe at the behest of national governments, certainly not at that of the EEC.

. The EU is a way of pacifying Europeans with shiny things and authoritarian legislation into submitting to their own destruction.

What shiny things? What authoritarian legislation? The legislation passed through an elected parliament, or the one proposed by ministers of the member states?

>The idea that a country isn't " rich" or has good standards of living if not an EU-country is part of that propaganda campaign.

What are you even on about?

>It really doesn't matter what Pan-europeanists consider themselves as or what they wanted. They're not in charge.

Oh; who is then?

>The EU is a pyramid scheme to fuck people over why the elite gets richer from it.

Which elites? The British ones that voted for Brexit because they wanted a libertarian tax haven paradise? Or the ones represented by usual lobbies which are at least placed under greater scrutiny in the EU than they are in most countries?

All laws and multicultural changes are endorsed and forced by the EU.

Nations who refuse to take part in EU's population mixup are prone to sanctions.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36202490

Blaming it on nations and their decisions is just simplifying bullshit. Everyone knows that once you're in the EU you won't regain control of your country until you leave. If you leave.

>Oh; who is it then?

EU is unsavable. I give it +50 years (this is generous) before it descends into continental "civil war".
