Two questions The EU is about defense and security importantly (apparently)...whose the EU minister for defence? Who is East Dulwich's MEP? I don't know I suspect the vast majority of us on here don't.... The disengagement scares me and is growing and widespread throughout Europe; hence the rise of extremists on both sides and the EU is a major cause of this. I'm am in, just, as a pure economic pragmatist (which is why I am no longer left wing) and for those selfish reasons alone But it all needs massive reform and re-engagement and I don't think that'll happen. Long term I'm very pessimistic. If I was braver and less focussed on my personal job and pension (at my age with young kids very important) I'd be out like a shot.....it's a failing institution, driven by political elites and fundamentally undemocratic as is.
