The EU would be very different without the UK. Lots of things would be different. (Probably for the better)

Not my point. Given the horrendous state of the EU now, who would vote to join it?

What makes you say the EU would be better without the UK?

So much fun destroying whole countries. Crushing unions and pensioners is a hoot.

The Europeans, and especially the Germans, have been perfectly capable of being irrational neoliberal nincompoops without any help from the UK.
Germany probably has the worst economists in the world.
Then we could talk about Mitterand, Delors etc and their monetarist ways.
And all beholden to the USA anyway.

For all the talk of crap British politicians, we don't have anyone to rival Guy Verhofstadt, Juncker, Santer, van Rompuy, etc. Somewhat of a Benelux feel there...

The UK has plenty of venal idiots too. In both parties. And many more war criminals.
