This is true, but Britain is already very populated and there is a lot of strain on our resources as it is. As harsh as it sounds, there must be drawn a line between sympathy and reality. We have thousands of unemployed people in our country as it is that require aid just as much.
Btw leaving the EU doesn't mean we don't want unity. It's like being in a group of friends, marrying one of them, divorcing, but still remaining friends afterwards.[/quote]
The same can be said about France, Germany, Spain, Italy , Portugal, Greece, etc...every country in the EU right now is facing some kind of problem -varies between the countries-. Drawing a line between sympathy and reality doesn't justify a divorce imho. Actually, i'm sure said countries (can only really speak for Spain) have taken many difficult decisions prioritizing reality over sympathy. In Spain, for example, since the financia crisis started the average salaries have gone down like a 30%, and VAT taxes went up to 21%. That's a lot. And no, Europe's southern countries aren't doomed to financially collapse, as I've read an argument for leave somewhere that states that. Actually, while the aid provided by the EU has been very considerable, most of the work to get back on our feet has been done by us. And it's giving it's fruits (in Spain's case at least, i'm sure the same goes for Italy, not so sure about Portugal / Greece).
That being said, an associate of an organization is never looked at with the same eyes as a member of it, as harsh as it may sound.
