The EU is still predicted to grow overall
Same for the Eruozone countries
I was happy when it was just a trading bloc, I can't stand the political integration part, or the handing over power to people I can't vote for.
Germany has the ability to spend more, due to them being in a budget surplus
Ever heard of the treadmill? in this case "Growing" still isnt fast enough, you still lag behind even if you are positive from your previous position.
To stimulate growth, which they will do
Lagging behind isn't going backwards 😉
It is reletively
differences get compounded over years
you are reletively worse off
Compared to others, but still better off when just looking at yourself
You world influence diminishes
You become less powerful
That's not something the EU cares about too much at the moment
They're more focused on the internals
Rather than external politics
Well guy sure likes to talk about his empire
You need to build the empire before you start looking to use its influence
the eu is going to turn the continent authoritarian before long
Which is why weez likes it
they will, look how theyre trying to cull criticism of immigration. look at articles 13 & 11
you'll see eu-wide speech legislation before long
and we'll be gone from it
if it isn't already here to some extent, defacto blasphemy laws
They're articles 15 and 17 now ;P
Hence won't happen
Honestly once we are gone, I couldnt care less what they do
The regulation will also go to the EU courts and will be shot down
If it goes bad for them? Well told em so
For violating citizens righrs
already started
"a crime in Austria"
The ECHR upheld it
Which means the ECHR approved
Which means austria were not stopped from violating the rights of this person, which then means that right is not something the ECHR recognises
the more power that goes to europe, the closer we get to european speech laws (and many others) becoming a real thing, and the less people in countries who suffer these laws, have any say in them
At least they'll get thier avacados and save 15 mins a few times a year on holiday
