It is a force that has taken the sensible things such as free trade, as tools for its goals of unification.
You have to abide by its rules/movement/policies or else.
I am sure most countries populations haven't grasped that yet. The newer members seem to have and are rebelling. Poland/Hungary for example.
Lets take you examples as a pain factor.
1. The pound has been far weaker against the euro. It happens. It is up to us to get those trade deals done and sort it out. You seem to look at this as a negative and not an opportunity. Also from the side of what have lost?, not as what could we gain?
2. More expensive holidays? Really? Then don't go to Europe. My holiday to Thailand in October is mega cheap. The Portugese/Spanish/Italians/Greeks will be frothing at this. Their economy depends on tourism. Not a bargaining chip then?
3.The airport queues are down to the EU's stupid Schengen. The ability to move guns and explosives easily over borders. We aren't in that, so we get checked out more closely? Also the lack of staffing, because Schengen is so wonderful?
4. Political isolation? lol
The UK has more voice than most of Europe. The EU has even tried to steal our voice/vote on the UN security council
Have a day off please.
