oh god politics

I see there is a theme of wanting uk out of europe. fair enough but i think its a shit idea.

1. EU laws are called red tape. Really protecting worker rights and enviromental laws protecting what 'nature' we got left is a hindrence. oh sorry business.

2. Europe has always been fighting each other. since ww2 we have had pretty much near peace. I know its only 70 years with a few wars but in euro terms that damn good.

3. The world has big power blocks. US, China, Rus soon to be other countries are solidifying into groups that protect there interests. (think the russian gas cut off winters ago. Germany caved in so the rest did)
Its crazy that eu countries dont act as 1 to stand for there economic and military status. The pathwork is there but this a long term view that i think is probably the most important.
