You americans (I take it you're an american) don't understand that civilians have no say in the matter. I don't have the skills to talk like lustral about this matter. Perhaps lustral could say it much better, but in a nutshell I can say, that europe has been poisoned by self hate, self guilt and making issues from none issues. Total liberal "turn the other cheek" mentality. Like, order has to be had, but "you gotta think about the poor lil refugees and you're a racist if you point out any criticism". The police is forbidden from reporting any criminal acts, or as little as possible commited by immigrants and dark skinned people because "it may cause racist thoughts in people". That's what the situation is. Some entity truly wants to fuck europes cultural and social system for good.
In america if you wear a shirt that has a huge american flag, it's all good. You even have american flags in your gyms. In my country if we'd do the same it's connected to racism and nationalism immidiately.
Lustral you have the floor 
Ok I really have to get to bed as up early but...
After WW2 England voted out Churchill, the great leader throughout the war and said we want a fairer society. After all, it was working class people who mostly died to save Europe from Hitler. The result of this was the introduction of free secondary level education and the NHS - since copied around Europe - and the welfare system. Thing is, back then, welfare was help when you were down, not a means of subsidence when living a shitty life and rewarding those with 10+ kids (ie Philpot guy who murdered family). Now it has become a tool for politicians to hoover votes up, same as the prmosie of tax cuts or increased spending.
The EU was born in 1955 after two world wars, multiple conflicts beforehand and several since, including Bosnia, Yugoslavia etc. It was founded as the European Steel and Coal Community - fairly blunt ad for what it stood for... Became EEC (European Economic Community) and later...the European Union. By this point it became more than a means of economic cooperation to encourage peace and trade - it became an overarching body with supranational powers (EU law exceeds the law of any member state). Add to that the lack of accountability of European bodies (European Parliament, European Commission, ECB, ECJ) and the massive influence of Germany, who benefitted most from Euro currency, and you have a bastardised, perverted version of the original union intended - hence member states have no control over sational sovereignty (to an extent), the welfare and caring state has become a creed (ie any member of EU can claim welfare in another state - so go to richest countries) and the liberal theme that dominates beaureaucrats running EU (not what people want) and you get this shitfest.
