That's the thing though. You mentioned opportunities because of being in the EU, and I'm sure many whom voted remain share similar experiences, hence voting to remain. Whereas others don't travel much or have ever worked across borders or in an industry that utililises more than one country, and it wouldn't make much difference to them. Or they have witnessed some bad impacts from freedom of movement into their area. Everyone has a different personal perspective.

However to show how corrupt the EU is, when they had the last nominarions for the heads of the EU, because of criticism they opened it up to nominations for each memberstate. Last week these positions were due for renewal again, but they closed down any nominations and the French president, with support from the German chancellor forced through their personal courses for the positions? Not quite sure how that's democratic, especially whom they gave ot into these positions. The head of the EU is now going to be a women whom was the failed German defence minister, and is hard by most in Germany. It's not much better for the other positions filled either. It's a complete joke. The Eastern EU members are definitely not happy.

It's sad because the EU is a great idea, but it's completely structured and managed wrongly, with a few per hungry at the ro pulling all thr strings. It's not democratic at all. Federalisation would be the only logical way the EU would function correctly. But most memberstates would fight such a move because they want to retain their sovereignty, cultural and historic identity, and ironically their nationalism and borders. But be in the EU! Have your cake and eat it basically.
