Leavers want to break away from that; Remainers ignore this important aspect and those on this thread don't even acknowledge the point.

Never pretended the EU was perfect. But those saying it is totally corrupt, as some on here have done, is slightly overstating the case ! When has there been large scale corruption ? Is it any more than any other large organisation? (not that I'm excusing it).
Acting as One is part of the strength, yes if anyone is a minority on issue they have to compromise. tbh honest the EU were very flexible to us -rebates and opt outs, we' ll never get such a good deal again.
The alternative of going it alone may provide a few advantages but it vastly outweighed by the economic damage. We're a relatively small country, we won't be no 1 on the list for trade deals with other countries and we'll be in a weak position. The BINO option just leaves us paying into the EU with no say.. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener elsewhere. It's going to be a very tough long lasting lesson.
The obsession with individuals (Junker) or anti German French stuff is nationalistic tabloid nonsense. Individuals and jingoism are irrelevant to our economic future.
