Would you allow a Country (to join a union) which was going bankrupt ? Seems Greece has had problems for years in the EU.
Greece may still be Europe’s sick patient, but the EU is at death’s door
Marina Prentoulis Being in the EU does not make a country wealthy or guarantee it will remain so. Was there an argument in your comment? We go forward, not backwards. What being in the EU does, is make other Countries carry the financial burden of Countries like Greece who have to be bailed out all of the time. The EEC/EU does not guarantee financial security or stability. Commerce and trade restrictions on any Country can cause financial burden and unrest. Is the EU the result of a badly thought out plan by Hitler? Nothing within the above changes the fact Britain is facing the decision it has made. Because we are living today not back in time. Exit quickly and let the rest do as they must.If Greece had remained with it's own money and economy it would be thriving now, wouldn't ? We cannot say but I do not believe it would have been worse off.
