What do I think of the EU?

(This piece was originally written in February 2016 and republished in June.

Some months ago my sister asked me for guidance on the EU as she was undecided.  To help clarify my own thoughts I wrote this little essay.  I don't know whether it helped my sister, but anyway here it is).



Plenty of clever people have written detailed histories and analyses of the EU, backed up by tomes of evidence and statistics, and have come to opposite or conflicting conclusions.  I can’t really add anything worthwhile to those essays, but these are my own personal thoughts.
