Good graph. The whole thing about European integration being necessary to increase the general welfare of the various nations population is a fraud. Norway does very well by itself. The other nations, (excluding the micro-states of Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Andorra, San Marino and Monaco) could do well if they were managed properly.

There seems to be almost an induced fear in the populations, especially of continental Europe, to assert their national identity and to be proud of their nation. Whether this has been a planned thing by various malevolent forces, or it is self-imposed, I'm not sure.

How boring the world would be if we were all the same. By that I mean, we can share similar basic values, but to erode the culture of a nation is terribly wrong and counter-productive.

No wonder why the Spaniards voted for the EU constitution, they are netting around +9 billions euros a year from the EU.
