Quote:If Greece had left they'd be a third world country by now. And they'd still have the refugee problem because Greece is the shortest route to the EU from the Middle East, only difference would that the EU would be able to just outright refuse to take in refugees from Greece because hey, you're not in the EU and therefor not our problem. 

 

So the UK is the 5th largest economy, that means they went from being part of the second largest economy to being the fifth. Down three spots, well done there. China, the US and the EU are going to bend them over and re-enact Deliverance. As for your Londonstan argument; poppycock. Even if that name was apt (which it very much isn't) that problem wouldn't go away by leaving the EU, many of the Muslims in the UK are born there and grew up there. Three of the four London bombers were born in the UK with the fourth born in Jamaica and growing up in the UK. 

My point wasn't that there are no Muslims in Briton now, but rather they would make up a much larger contingent after Germany or the EU decides how many of the refugees get dumped on the UK. A massive infusion of an unskilled, uneducated workforce who doesn't believe in integration or playing well with others is not a good way to improve your standing in the world.

 

If Greece wasn't part of the EU, they could refuse to take the refugees on their own. But since they owe so much debt they have to take the 'resettlement' money and therefore the refugees. They would have been much better just going independent, declaring insolvency, and re-emerging from the ashes, rather than the slow painful death they are taking now as a country.

 

And the UK is better off on its own because it doesn't have to deal with the pressures of having to cover for the weakest member states of EU. Being the 5th and representing yourself is much better than being the 2nd but having to deal with much weaker economic countries concerns or being bullied by Germany.

 

Edit: Loved your response tho. The US 'winning' any trade deals now-a-days is hilarious to me. Thats the reason Trump is the Republican nominee, even without some huge Nation state like the EU, and with the largest economy, the US still manages to make horrible trade deals due to our corrupt globalist leaders.
