If you are referring to the motives for voting leave by some of the population, you might be right. But if they were intelligent enough to have been aware of my argument, they would have voted leave on that basis.
You presumably agree with my description of German hegemony even if you don't see it as a reason to leave the EU.

I do agree that the German economy is a strong one but then so is ours (for the time being). Their role in the EU is not a sinister one, certainly not a feudal super-state exploiting the remaining members. Their strength provides them the ability to contribute more. Without their contributions, parts of Europe would not be as well off as they otherwise would have been.
BTW, this thread is a discussion on Brexit in all its aspects including the more sinister reasons some Leavers voted for.
