Freaker, don't get me wrong. What I want to happen is a change in the system and to help others see that the system needs to either change or crumble down and a new, working one to be rebuilt. But by doing nothing we only strengthen the status quo, which will in the end get us all in the deepest parts of the shitter. To actually get the worlds attention (like the Brits already have done), is to show that nations will leave the union if it doesn't change.

Even if our politicians had balls (the only balls they have are the ones they use to screw over Finland itself) they wouldn't be taken seriously since we're considered a minor nation within the Union. We have nothing to wager on, unlike Britain. But if we, and other members, state that we're leaving the "land of Peace and Prosperity", the world would start to look at the situation and asking "Why are people leaving it? Is there something wrong within the EU system?" This would be a big public defeat for the EU, in which case, if they don't want to lose their credibility, they'd have to start changing the system.

The fact that our economy is completely down the gutter is partially because of the EU. What has been one of the major debate topic in our politics for few years now? Greece. Ireland. Portugal. Spain. The nations that were going bankrupt. And what did we do? Take a bunch of loans to loan the existing money to those nations as part of the relief packages by the EU. Now the other part is because of ridiculous policies in Finland itself, like selling everything to foreign companies and not actually creating successful and working Finnish companies to, for example, mine the gold or uranium we had and use those industries to export them and tax them. But no, we had to sell those resources to foreign companies and we can't really control the resources the way we could've with a government-run company.

The thing why I wouldn't want Fixit to happen is exactly because of our government. We seem to have absolutely no capable minister in the whole nation. Each of the major parties stabs the people in the back by going against their promises and just seem to make the situation worse by each year. To make the Fixit to work, we'd need competent leadership, which is never going to happen here.

The immigration crisis, we'd be able to control it far better than we're able to right now. As of right now, because of the Schengen Area, we're basically told to not do border checks on the Swedish and Norwegian borders. And that has been one major problem place where we've had waves of immigrants coming through. If we were out of the EU, we'd also be able to actually stop the massive waves of immigrants. Of course, we wouldn't be able to stop the crisis completely on our part, but it'd be alot easier to manage.
