Rather says it all that you split the EU into the UK and everyone else. As

UK.

The reality is EU members, of course, all have differing views of how
things should be done for the best.

I've never seen what the disadvantages are of having a degree of common
standards and objectives.

Just for us simple plebs, what's the view like from up there, Dave?
