essentially, yes. I think i'm in that camp, too.

I believe this has to do with the globalization and the problem it brings for local people. To be relevant in the world, one should be strong, united and of reasonable size (economically, ...). If the EU would collapse now into individual states, each of them (esp eastern europe) would suffer greatly and maybe has to deal with russia. How much of a help the NATO is? just ask ukraine.

Who gives a shit about "relevance" in the world? Politicians care about "relevance", ordinary people care about quality of life. And there are plenty of small countries outside the EU or other large trading blocs that have high quality of life.
