Who should leave the EU?
The EU is an economic and political organization, which grew exorbitantly over the last decades. Currently we have 27 member states and three countries are on enlargement row: Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey. It is to be expected that the EU will continue to grow until she encompasses at least whole Europe and North Africa. Now this might be a natural development for the EU administration, but I fear that the larger the EU is going to become, the larger the problems will be. An oversized EU could in many ways resemble a mini-UNO: Nice in theory, but ungovernable in practice. Therefore I believe that instead of admitting new members, the EU should start to fire some members. I'd love to see a lean, successful and efficient EU. There are certain EU members, who don't contribute anything else to Europe than sucking money and constantly insulting us.
Here's a graph about,who pays and who benefits most from the EU (net contribution 2007 in billion €):
Here's the same from 2010. It's in German, but I'm sure, you'll figure out, who's who in that graphic:
Left are takers, right are givers.
You can see that Greece and Poland are probably very happy about constant EU aid.
Here I found a nice graphic about the EU budget 2007-13. Blue countries are takers, red and purple ones givers. The larger a country is shown on the map, the more they pay/ receive per capita.
So who should be kicked out?
Poll is added. You can vote multiple times. I hope for a tough, but still fair discussion.
Edit:
Here's a graph net by population. It shows, how much Europeans countries pay/receive per capita. By far Greece sucks most money per capita.
