Live and let live - when will folk learn that you can't impose your will on others. That's why we have democracy and the voting system it's far safer than two tribes with flaming torches and pitchforks at each others throats. lol.

I haven't read further than your post above, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I've read in at least one Spanish publication that in 2019 overall Spanish unemployment fell below 15%. If correct that leaves your claim looking a bit....incorrect? 

Further, in 2018/2019 Spain had the highest level of GDP growth in the EU, outstripping the UK by some distance.

Maybe if you're going to trash the EU it might be better to try it with facts rather than ignorance?
