Again, you seem to be not fully reading posts. No one is saying that the EU is not without problems, some significant. BUT people who are calling for 'hard brexit' and 'people will want to trade with us' is the stuff of pure conjecture. Only a tactically naive/inept individual makes a decision without having at least some firm evidence as to what the alternative is.

Fault and responsibility are two completely different things. Whilst the EU may have to take it's share of responsibility for long term unemployment rates in the countries you have specified it is not necessarily the EU's fault that they have occurred.

'Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread'
I have read what you said.

If you cannot see that the EU's economic policy is directly responsible for creating unemployment in the Southern European states (in particular) to the benefit of Germany then I'm afraid nothing I can say will change that. Their policy failure has created and/or exacerbated these problems and I'd say that means it's their fault. Who would you blame?...

There's an entire thread on the Eurozone and all the arguments and evidence is there ad nauseam but the adverse effects of having no capacity to vary internal interest rates or devalue your own currency in times of need is undeniable.

Over to you...
Petty? I was referring to you reading my original post again as I'd added information in the time between our posts.

You talked about reading posts remember.

If you want a debate on the failure of the EU's economic policy and my feelings on it you can search the Eurozone thread. There's no point going over it all again here so I've said all I need to and given you a starter for ten.
