Its a bit like Tescos, just think of all that buying power, giving us cheap beans and stuff.
Well the EU can mercilessly stiff the little countries so we can have even cheaper beans and stuff.

It works on all levels. Politicians want to rule over a single, giant European state, businesses want to do away with cross-border trade restrictions, organised criminals are kept off the dole by fiddling agricultural subsidies, and the plebs want to visit any shop from Helsinki to Lisbon and spend the same notes and coins.
Oh, and the Spanish can fish our stocks out of existence.
It's a fab idea, everyone's a winner.Comment

However one area I still know very little about (one of many areas) is why we need the EU.
So as a few on here say "pah, we'd be nothing without Europe", can you explain why? What are the benefits and what is the drive for a blanket constitution and uniform legislation?
I am biased against after living in France for a while but am mostly open minded.
For example, if we are in to "give something back" to the poorer states then so be it, just want to know what it's for and why we want to be in it.Comment
