That is probably one of the biggest reasoning people have in things like the E.U.
They can get their instant gratification.
I am not knocking the U.K. for that either, the U.S.A. is even worse, look at our school system, is pure unadulterated B.S. anymore, but people don't want to change it because that would cause so many waves in their own life.
Oh, absolutely! If we had something like the EU (as Ted Cruz’s wife wanted) you’d see people going down to Mexican resorts to get drunk on a regular basis - especially if the flights cost 50 bucks a pop. I guess that’s the bone the politicians throw to ordinary people in exchange for their freedom.
