Yes, I'd like our companies to stay ours, not to sell off to foreigners. I'd like our own car brands, electronic brands, phone brands, furniture, and everything else that I can think of!
Yes, yes, the living standards are nice and all, and we can afford cheap shit from abroad, but we're still dependent on the EU and can't do jack shit without it.
Imagine if Germany decided to bail on the EU, last year, or the year before that. Before this whole migrant bullshit. Would they be a contender on the world stage?
