Logically, Macron's right. But Nationalism defeats that sort of logic. I've often said that we look alike but don't think alike. Nationalism is an elaboration of that.

To make matters worse, power corrupts and people at the top of their countries don't want to cede a lot of power elsewhere. Indeed I see Macron as trying to be leader of the EU federation sort of thing.

For you then to associate Brexiteers with Putin and Trump isn't fair.
