Still buying the propaganda that there was free “bailout money” and that Germany is being bled dry, eh? The “bailouts” were loans and the terms insisted that the countries that took the loans surrender more of their sovereignty to the EU. (Ireland claims that their loans were paid off too.) Never mind Germany’s own beggar-thy-neighbor policy that turned them rather suddenly from the “sick man of Europe” into its leading economy (and de facto political ruler).
Aside from that, every European country needs to be independent of the EU, because all it has done is hurt for the sake of accruing power and territory.
The EU is a social market economy. That started in Germany and spread by treaty to the rest of the member states.
