Germany and France have now achieved their goal of dominating all of continental Europe. Hasn't been this good since that time the UK lost Normandy. || And that was a joke that only those who watched Yes Minister might understand. ||
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) Though the ribbing aside. Good luck.
I rib the UK more as a continuing joke, as the UK joining the EEC caused a lot of economic hardship for NZ in the 70s, but also set NZ on a path to rid itself of socialism.
NZ used to be a closed economy totally reliant on the UK, now is like #3 in the world for economic freedom. Just behind Singapore.
Why's that, @TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh)?
22 pts. btw.
I just believe the EU needs a lot of reforms to make it much more democratic and effective
But since those reforms aren't ever gonna arrive, better to leave
Tusk: The EU would be glad to see Scotland join as an independent nation
Spain dealing with CataluΓ±a:
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) Why are you comparing Scotland a country in a union with England, to Catalonia a part of a country called Spain?
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) thats a pretty good meme ngl
@D7V1D I'm not but Spain wouldn't exactly be the most supportive of it
CataluΓ±a isn't their only issue
There's the Basque Country
Which had their own terrorist group (ETA)
Basque is actually part in Spain and part in France
So they have an even lesser change of becoming independent

@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) Spain wouldn't care, we already spoke about this. Did they block Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Croatia?
That was a different, more stable Government which didn't have to fear a far-right party like Vox jumping onto it
They would be asked why are they anti-Scottish but not anti-Latvian, anti-Czech etc.
Yes, because it's not like Spain has contradicted itself on many occations *Sarcasm*
Spain wouldnβt care for Catalonia leaving??
Catalonia is one of the richest regions of the country
I think they care
That's not what D7VID is saying
Oh sorry
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) Thoughts?
I kinda think immigration concerns might sink it.
Because CER is already strained between Australia and NZ over criminals, and NZ has just below 5 million people.
As for labour...I'd disagree in that, as you'd end up with an exodus of builders/tradespeople to Australia and to a much lesser extent NZ, as wages are higher and employment laws are better.
Plus that happens already.
Canada will join the North American Union with America and Mexico.
This chat is now nonexistent
How will UK do noe when they ain't in EU
Won't things go reallt bad for them
