From what I've read, it seems that migrant workers from Eastern Europe are an important reason for the UK wanting to leave the EU. That is a bit ironic since it was the UK under Major etc. who insisted on letting those countries, like Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, .. join while they were clearly not ready for it. Also, many EU countries opted for a long transition period during which free movement (to work) of people from those newly admitted countries would not yet apply. Not so the UK. One would almost suspect it was a plot by bosses to put downward pressure on wages.. Not being British, I'm not involved and it is clearly a decision for the UK alone to take. Perhaps, if they leave, some progress can be made again towards a US of Europe. Finally, I'd love an independent Scotland to join the EU.


Thread: What would happen if UK "bailed out" of the EU after 40 years of membership. ?
