One of the arguments in favour of joining the EU was that a stronger Europe could BENEFIT from trade with emerging nations.

The problem has been that far from strengthening Europe, the EU has weakened it because it failed to recognise the vast differences in the economic stability of each of its members. Instead of addressing those differences, it has swept them under the carpet, and has even "fiddled" the figures to allow new countries to join. Why was Greece allowed to keep the retirement age of 62?

The current problems have always been an accident waiting to happen.
