I think the EU in general is a good idea, but it has a few problems that still need to be worked out.
Because of the Prime Minister Tony Blair taking us into the EU without asking the people. He had repeatedly said the people would be asked. He lied.

France, Holland and Eire had referendums. They all voted no, France and Holland ignored the result and the politicians went ahead with joining. Eire was told to vote again until they got it right.

The Common Market had already created a free trade area, the EU is to make Europe one country like America. Whether the people want it or not. The politicians do.
