The Swiss, the Norwegians and others are no less Europeans for not being members of the EU and to suggest that a prerequisite for peace and prosperity is EU membership is so obviously wrong that it is frankly mind-boggling in its' naivety.
Facts prove that the EU has comparatively been neither prosperous nor conducive to peace, and there are numerous examples of the latter and statistics for the former.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion but basing personal fears on such flawed perceptions is almost certain to lead to disappointment.
If facts deliberately being ignored is what leads to such flawed perceptions then the disappointed have only themselves to blame.
The rest of us will be moving on and making the most of new opportunities rather than bemoaning what might have been.
