Europe was meant to be a trade zone not a political dictatorship

[@eleanorgroton5475]

So true,otherwise U K would still be a member

[@charlesironside1077]

Sweden and all the other EU countries should now leave the EU and form a trade zone as the original intention.

[@englishciderlover7347]

I believe the Treaty of Rome (1957) says that a pan-European super-state is the ultimate goal. Back in the late 1950s or early '60s, Harold Macmillan told Charles de Gaulle that if the British voters knew what the intention really was, they'd never want to know.

[@FabianDialer-vw1zk]

Exactly. The European Union doesn't exist anymore how it was supposed to be. Now its one nation forcing all other nations to do what it wants. Every Eu partners should be free to handle stuff as they want. Some countries in Europe are forced to take in migrants while others outright refuse and get punished for it. We don't want some country up north to dictate what countries in the south need to do.

And why?, because we wanted a return of National sovereignty, including determining who might enter our country. Now obviously our own leaders have denied us the Brexit we voted for, while refusing to police our borders. Nevertheless, it does appear that a number of European nations have become increasingly fed up with the diktats coming from the Brussels bureaucrats, and hey presto, they finally understand the British position. I think you might call this an 'I told you so' moment.

Unfortunately we have been misgoverned, lied to and conned constantly since the brexit vote.

Sweden won't exit. As brexit showed, exiting EU brings very severe consequences with it. It gives you a very disadvantageous position in your biggest export market.

Good to hear. It would be nice to see the Scandinavian countries and the Commonwealth countries join into a trading block. You can get most of the trade benefits without being part of the Fourth Reich.

[@vullings1968]

Commonwealth countries are turning their back to UK. At the coronation of Queen Elzabeth there were 33 countries that called her their queen. With the coronation of King Charles that will be 14. Australia and NZ are certainly laughing with their (for them) very favourable trade deals. And don't get your hopes up with Scandinavian countries. Norway bluntly refused UK entry to EFTA.

Because you can't really leave. EU is your biggest trading partner and supplies 60% of your food. The brexit you have now is already costing UK 100 billion a year. And UK doesn't even do the required checks at the border. The more UK diverges from it's biggest trading partner, the more expensive it gets. It's just that simple.

I remember having a conversation with my Swedish friend years ago about the possibility of Sweden leaving the EU. She said we can't it's too late. We voted to join and now we are in too deep. I said to her, it's your country and its never too late if that's what you want. Sweden were disappointed the UK left the EU because they could always look to the UK for backing, having very similar views.

When national sovereignty and the will of citizens to decide for themselves is threatened, it’s time to get out! Even though it may prove a bitter pill to swallow at first, in the long run it will benefit the country. As the American revolutionaries said in 1776, “Don’t tread on me!”

As a swede all I hear is "We cant do that because of EU". We cant make our own immigration policies because of EU. We had a tax on plastic bags implemented a couple of years ago and the current government is talking about removing that tax. If we do we might have to pay a huge fine to the EU. As Germany is completely out of their minds and are shutting down their nuclear power plants our electricity is gonna get more expensive because we are in the EU. Its weird because on my ID it says that my nationality i Swedish and not European unionite. So I dont know why the fuck the EU is acting like a nation.

At least Sweden still has its own currency, its own monetary policy. Hopefully the Swedes have enough confidence in themselves to maintain their sovereignty on every aspect possible. I wish the Italians had such confidence, but they are afraid of their own shadows, hence they have steadily given up more and more aspects of their sovereignty to others to the point where they have almost no more wiggle room in that straitjacket. And, no, I don't feel sorry for them. All the best to the Swedish.
