You’re choosing to ignore other countries which has left the EU and focusing on one example. Interesting. Wonder why that could be?

Please tell me more about how every country that has withdrawn from EU has failed

It’s about democracy and sovereignty. Let’s say a EU member internationally votes 51% in favor of implementing socialism. Because of the EU membership, it would not be possible to implement due to regulations outside of a single country’s control, and EU is famously very capitalistic in general.

One non-extreme example in my country Sweden is that EU is threatening to make snus (i.e. oral tobacco product which zyn is based on) illegal, despite it being widely used and arguably a way more healthy nicotine product than cigarettes. Currently, Sweden has an exemption from the snus ban, but that exemption is not guaranteed for the future.

Also, if extreme right-wing forces grow stronger (which they currently are doing), it could result in EU policy regarding limiting lgbt rights or other horrible right-wing policies, despite a given country’s elected politicians not being of a right-wing majority.

So if one country fails with something, it means that it should never be attempted? This sounds like “you like communism? look at Venezuela”.

I’m not particularly fond of my country being a member of EU, but I can’t help but to be pro-EU when he’s against it.
