Indeed

Bless the Union

Fuck the EU, Ave Imperium Europa!

@when she felt her wings unfold  
I just think any EU state without the Euro is bound to not feel compelled to stay. Plus a variety of other factors that make the UK even less likely to stay above that.

@Itsthinking  
That’s a very wide excluded middle.
 
Historical inevitability does not follow from your premise. Other member states have varying degrees of involvement too, and did not leave. It took an outright reversal of direction in the body politic whose staying power is yet to be determined to even notify on Article 50 - this post-referendum choice was not inevitable. We’re frankly in uncharted and negotiable territory even now. You’ll forgive me if I say that talk of inevitability sounds awfully simplistic, and untrue.
 
“It was inevitable”. No. Continental drift and stellar evolution are inevitable. Political upheavals are matters of whim, frenzy, influence, and regret.

@when she felt her wings unfold  
Britain was never fully invested in it. Leaving was inevitable.

Couldn’t have put it any better way. Hope it works out for you, for what it’s worth.

“It’s complicated” is the key to understanding European nations trying to get on with each other, and this British Remain voter thinks we’ve done a sadly poor job of understanding and communicating that complexity and how it has to be organized. It cannot be encapsulated in an easy slogan or a national day, which is why they always seem so half-hearted in comparison to the wilder, odder, and older regional celebrations.
 
What there is to be proud of is our very different peoples’ shared threads of learning, trade, art, science, and the hard-won evening-out of power. I’ve always seen the European project as a continuation of those threads, and it has been a very great force for peace and prosperity as a result. We could do with understanding its history better.

You’re a laff m8. There’s been mistakes, no doubt about it, but the peace is worth it.

I will be dead before I praise this garbage union.  
Free our nations!

@Background Pony #5F67  
Is complicated, the Europe’s day is celebrated the same way as the “Day of the father” and similars.  
The most I celebrated it was in School at the same level that the national day

@Summerium  
Yeah, but the question was if we do US style military parades and fireworks here. Which just isn’t how things are done in Europe.

@Itsthinking
 
The 9 of may of 1950 Robert Schuman proposed the creation of the European Comunity of Carbon and Steel that with the years will evolve into the European Union

@Itsthinking  
Not quite, but that’s par for the course for most european national holidays anyway.

So is there any actual celebration for it, like an independence day?

@Background Pony #5F67  
(\ thanks dude

Nah man, but most artists seem to stay away from the dreaded politics. Hope you had a good one /)
