I honestly struggle to understand. Can't these guys see that the people they "envy" are actually on a worse trend? Eastern Europe benefited immensely by European manufacturers relocating there, to the direct detriment of their Western workers. The EU pumped zillions of Euros in their infrastructure and their economies; and for the trouble, more often than not we get back an insistence on regressive and retrograde policies, blocking ever-closer integration, and constantly sabotaging "solidarity" policies like refugee resettlement out of pure racism and egoism.

To me these people seem extremely ungrateful. I have said it before, and I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I really wouldn't cry if EU8 and their galaxy would just be left to their own devices. They don't want to feel like colonies? Fine with me, that's the door. Like us idiots in UK, they'll soon find out that life outside is not that great.
