The Common Market was started for the very best of reasosn, to help build a great Europe after the destruction of WW2, although lets not forget president De Gaulle did his best to keep Britain out of any united Europe for as long as possible, bizzarely cozying up with the Germans.

I am all in favour of freedom of trade and the freedom of movement granted to European citizens, but the Common Market has given birth to a monster called the EU that bears little or no resemblance to the ideals of it's birth.

If I were a veteran of WW2 I would look in dismay at the way Germany has gained economic control of Europe and wonder if it was all really worth it. Germany runs the EU, economically and politically. To have a country like Greece forced to follow the same economic policy as Germany is madness, utter madness. It was this rigidity of fiscal policy in an area of economic and political diversity that destroyed the Irish economy. Years before the crash everyone knew the Irish economy was overheating, but because they were economically shackled to Europe that had entirely different economic pressures.

So in Essence I want freedom of trade, and Freedom of movement for European citizens, but I don't want this monster of bureaucracy, corruption, micromanagement and meddling that the EU has become.
