The higher the GDP per capita, the higher the standard of living.
We are well behind the Netherlands on that.

It is all about quality of life.
Yes, it is an interesting table, and no doubt accurate.
But take a look at the order.
At the top: Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands. All countries who seem intent that we should remain in the EU.
Now look lower down the list: Italy, Spain, and much lower still, East European countries and especially Greece which has been almost irretrievably impoverished by the Euro.
I wonder why there should be so much disparity in a union of supposedly equal nations?
And right at the bottom of the list is the EU as a whole, well below us in the stakes.
Perhaps that tells us something too.
