Why would they all leave?

If Greece and Spain were independant they would have been able to control their own ecconomies and currencies far better. The EU had presided over the biggest financial crisis that Europe has ever faced and the biggest migration crisis. Still as long as French farmers can keep their 4-wheel-drives and huge payouts for dumping food, and foreign fishermen can deplete what was once British fishing waters, that's ok. On the subject of fishing, it does take real genius to destroy a fishing industry in a country surrounded by water.

At least the Treaty of Rome was economic - it's Maastrict that's done the damage.

Not really, its a crisis, and its more or less getting to grips with it, and as the EU exists as its memberstates, even if it has, the failure isn't with the EU per se, but with the unwillingess of EU memberstates to deal with a problem until its a crisis.

I don't think the individual memberstates would have dealt with it any better, just ignored it more.

Easier with the EU than without though.

Right, so all the non-UK doctors will leave Britain because someone on a Crystal Palace forum made a joke about people dancing in the streets when we leave the EU? Sensitive lot these non-UK doctors. Much wider opportunities elsewhere? Presumably they thought they had found a good opportunity when they came here to work, how will that have changed - still the same job, still the same wages. Just because Norway and Switzerland choose to enact some EU legislation does not mean we will. We can keep what we think is in the interests of the UK and discard the rest.

The Eurozone is a intregral part of the EU 'project', ie, the move towards A United States of Europe (God help us). Greece shouldn’t have been in the Eurozone and that the whole Euro project is breaking apart under the fluctuations of the different economies. Greece and Germany don’t fit in the same picture, for example. Youth unemployment is up, debt is up, poverty is up. Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece all have obscene levels of youth unemployment. Germany provides 27% of Eurozone GDP; Greece just 3%. Quality of life in Germany is 20% ABOVE average. In Greece it is 20% BELOW average. The difference between these two countries could not be more apparent, yet they both have the same currency. This means either the EU’s rulers are just plain stupid, or more plausibly, they’ve deliberately ignored the facts for their own benefit and agenda. As you say yourself, Greece could not devalue, it is not in control of its own economy. All of these countries are also hamstrung by being subject to countless EU regulations, pushed upon them by an unelected EU Commission.

Twenty-three per cent of the entire fishing quota the EU non-elected bureaucrats allow Britain now goes to a single giant Dutch trawler, the Cornelis Vrolijk, to land all its catches in Holland. Pre EU membership Britain had Europe’s largest fishing fleet and 80 per cent of all its fishing waters. Heath then gave way to the EU’s demand that all fishing waters must be merged as a “common European resource” with a complex system of national 'quotas', that allowed Britain’s fishermen just 13 per cent by value of this new “common resource”. Another appalling aspect of the the new system was the 'discards' policy, forcing fishermen to chuck back into the sea millions of dead fish for which they had no quota. Now, years later, after yet another joke meeting in Brussels, we are told the environmental discards disaster has been ended. Fishermen must now bring all their catch back to land. But only so that millions of fish can now be discarded to landfill instead. Meanwhile, Britain’s fishing industry moves closer to extinction along with the fish being factory farmed by our EU 'partners'.
