    Is Brexit British nationalism and arrogance?

    The EU was supposed to be Europe's answer to the USA.

    Arizona, Portland, Kansas, etc. are NOT looking to separate from the USA...

    .......can someone explain?

    • I doubt itFax_Benson
    • it's not so linear I guess
      ********
    • @oey go on then? we'll comprehend the non-linear concept just as much. Is the EU not needed? It's 2018 after all. Times have changed.chukkaphob
    • @ chukka sorry what? I think it's needed. I meant it is not linear in british nationalism and arrogance.
      ********
    • and in Arizona, Portland, etc...people speak the same language, there's different ethnical groups but are basically all americans...
      ********
    • and in Europe you know...200 something years of history against centuries and centuries aof identity building.
      ********
    • I understand your question and point, and there's something of that actually but it doesn't end there.
      ********
    • We the people never asked to join an EU superstate. We did vote to join a tarrif free trade zone. thats the difference.trooperbill
    • @oey thanks for the points madechukkaphob
    • @trooperbill I see that point, yeah. But what's the alternative? How's Brexit better? In a sense it's alienating everyone and asking for bigger tarrifs, etc No?chukkaphob

    • Britain has always been in the EU halfass because they never gave up control of their currency, just like Hungary and Poland. You guys didn't commit.robotron3k
