I hope exit wins. EU is a joke.

Europe is the Euro (money) + Schengen (no borders) + CAP (common agricultural policy) and a million regulations (99% of which are useless). Ironically, the UK doesn't have the Euro, isn't part of Schengen and is only marginally involved in the CAP. They never really joined the EU fully to start with (and rightly so).

Euro proved to mainly benefit bankers and is responsible for shameless price gouging in all/most countries who switched to it. The common folk became remarkably poorer due to the Euro. Sovereign countries lost control over their currency.

Schengen is an unsustainable utopia. It was obvious from the start but now nobody can really deny it. It's already half dismantled due to the migration crisis. Before Schengen, borders weren't a problem as far as I can remember.

The regulations are a huge burden on the economic activity and part of the reason so many activities are being / have been moved to Asia.

I can't comment on the CAP as it would require a good understanding of its consequences in all countries. It's only a small part of EU though.

I don't see why nations such as Finland have to be married to nations such as Portugal. They have too little in common.

They are negotiating with islamist Turkey to join EU but said no to Ukraine.

People don't want the EU and it's starting to show.
