name the countries you mean and tell me how they want to make a union without the big and healthy ones ?

some people seems to forget too fast how they have been before the EU.
Now that's a lie. If Thommy believes it we can see why he's so deluded.

Before the EU there was The Common Market. Common Market founded - Mar 25, 1957 - HISTORY.com

The quality of the referendums shows the type of countries in favour of staying in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refere...European_Union

This shows the quality of countries in line to join. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future...European_Union It's not full of big healthy one, it's 50/50 between unhealthy and healthy. When the UK leaves the balance swings in favour of the unhealthy one. When the newer countries join, the balance swings further. Why not a coalition of only the healthy?

No, we remember how good the Common Market was. We would prefer to return to it. Most of Europe wants out of the EU and back to the Common Market. Pity the politicians won't allow the people to vote.

More reading.

Reality Check: Are 5 countries about to join the EU? - BBC News one can never assume the politicians will veto anyone.
