So, it's entirely down to the EU that we have peace. Right. Nothing to do with communism vs capitalism? Nato? the Cold War? Nuclear armaments? the UN? The EU is absolutely irrelevant when it comes to promoting peace. It actually incites hatred because it is trying to pretend cultural identities are unimportant and don't exist.
I always find it odd why people could say anything good about the social chapter. It makes labour markets inflexible and stops job creation and efficiency. If you want higher wages, then stop the influx.
I also don't accept your excuse that they are weak because you are 'tired'. I'm tired and I have to live in Brussels where nothing works. They are weak arguments because the EU is an unacceptable insitution which wastes hueg amounts of public money and is simply a huge form of cornyism and nepotism.

Ohhhh, someone is bitchy! Firstly, yes, trade blocks are not a good thing in terms of trade with developing countries. This is something the EU is also able to look at and promote better trading with these countries. The EU would be a far stronger voice for this cause than Britain on it's own.
As for the peace arguement, the EU is an example of an institution that would be high-lighted by neo-liberal institutionalists as an instiution that has been benefical for peace and stability. Others would include NATO and the UN and of course changes in the international enviroment effect peace and stability!
Stop the influx of what? I'm not sure if this is an economics term or not, economics is not my strong point!
And like it or not, I'm tired and when I'm tired, I ramble and talk b******s, so if you're not gonna be friendly, s** off!
