  1. I must agree with Mentzen on this one.

    European Union in 2003 was different than today.

    While nobody disagrees about benefits of free trade (benefits major countries like Germany), free people movement (benefits countries like Poland), common budget for region development that benefits everyone, open borders (helps trade), nobody wants EU to hold us down, limit us, try to change the world by taking hit after hit in the name of something which might be literally not possible with empires like Russia and China just going all in and trying to conquer the whole world.

    I think, EU is center of growth-bubble that happened after increased supply of money, everyone feels comfortable and they debate on first world problems while Russia planned another brutal takeover and leftist Europe now faces very-real threats which they can’t deal with properly due to the lack of experience in such matters.

    EU was mostly peaceful place for the last 50 years and their plans were simple – make rich people richer, which should fuel up economy and make everyone happy. But with growing automation, growing social help of governments we head into a very dangerous schema, where government decides what you are obligated to get, what you should wear, eat, do while you don’t have chances to decide for yourself.

    In 2003 I was 100% in for EU, I was right. In 2023 I’m skeptic about EU plans, how this institution works, who benefit from it and what is the ultimate goal of this organization (federalization and complete and utter subordination).

    We need to stay in EU, we need to cooperate, we can’t agree to everything because that’s not in our best interest! And whoever says it is, he is clearly uninformed and blind to the facts.

    here’s quite funny video about how the parliament works on a daily basis

  2. Make it today, and it will be much different, I would say 65/35

  3. To było moje pierwsze glosowanie! 18stka miesiąc wcześniej i nie pamietam czy dowód dotarł czy używałam paszportu…
    Wygrałam zakład z moim typowym podkarpackim ojcem ze ‚za 5 lat będę żałować głosowania na TAK’ 🙃

  4. Two things are big part of that first Schengen second matching EU with military security

  5. Who in his right mind makes a map with ‘yes’ in communist red and ‘no’ in European blue for a EU referendum??

  6. people from indonesia would be very confused how did we get into UE with those votes

  7. Ah yes, powiat skierniewicki, a magical place where you can find all sorts of “special” people

  8. I can see that people on borders, rivers and City divisions were strongly against joining. Just look how divided is that map by blue lines of strong NO

  9. Ah, yes.
    Wschodnia Polska jak zwykle 100 lat za Afrykańczykami.

  10. Why exactly are the historically German parts more inclined to join the EU?

    And why would that district between Łódź and Warsaw be a hard no? Trying to understand the political and historical context.

  11. O co chodzi z tym obszarem pod Warszawą który na wszystkich tego typu mapkach ma mocny vibe Polski B?

  12. O co chodzi z tym obszarem pod Warszawą który na wszystkich tego typu mapkach ma mocny vibe Polski B?

  13. POV: Nie ma rozdzielenia na województwa i nagle nie wiesz gdzie mieszkasz

  14. Now ask these people if they would want to have n ordinary car and cheap development of buildings 😉 EU is gonna take out these things from us, that’s true. UE now is a completely different story.
