The EU's great, my country was like one of those "ex-commie countries " about 20 years ago broke and going nowhere fast, thanks to EU money and incentives we're one of the richest countrys in Europe (in GNP).
The new member states are'nt getting half the money previous new members got so I dont see how there milking us. Anyway how much funding does Sweden give to the EU compared to Germany for example! I dont think Sweden's hurting to much
Remember that Sweden has a population that is 9 million and Germany has 80 million. In other words we pay way more in percent than Germany. And what do WE get? Nothing! You just moan when we refuse to join the currency(Euro).
How surprising? What exactly are you implying?
I've seen a lot of wankers here complain about how much money they're giving to the EU all the time. Let me tell you: Not a single country in the Union wouldn't amount to shit today if it wasn't for the EU, most would probably be somewhere in the company of Albania in terms of wealth and prosperity.
And pulling away subsidies form European farmers and throwing all the money in the world at Africa isn't going to change anything over there.
No, I don't mean to throw money to Africa. Let's just NOT throw money to EUROPEAN farmers and let them compete with african. I bet that the european farmers would loose. Why? Because african agricultural products are much better and cheaper. Who would buy crappy expensive frenchie goods?
Wouldn't it make the poor, poor french farmers even more poor? Well, I don't give a flying s**t about frenchie farmers. All I want is cheaper products! And this can be achieved by taking away the economical support for the frenchies.
