I live in Sweden, but would happily live in most European countries. Yes, some are less well functioning, and many that have joined the EU have significantly improved their living standard (not always counted in GDP), since joining the EU. There are always things to complain about in any country, and the hardest thing for most people to do is actually make a fair comparison, as they haven’t lived in another country.

I have lived in the UK, in the US and spent significant time running a startup in the Netherlands, and half the family lives there. I have relatives in Spain and in Switzerland. I have helped setup startup subsidiaries on all continents.
