Thank you Serweryn, excellent post.

Only one correction though. You can travel freely throughout most of continental Europe, even to
non-member Switzerland, but not to Britain. Their insular attitude prevented them from joining the Schengen
Agreement, which is the agreement which opened Europe up to borderless travel.

It would be painful in many respects, if the UK left the EU, but it would allow Europe to move closer to political
unity and thereby hopefully remove some of the levels of the present administrative complex. And political
unity and the elimination of conflicts was always and still is the ultimate aim of the protagonists of Europe.
