The EU is about totalitarian control. Every EU country, under the predisposition, should submit to the EU as to create a single country under one control. Totalitarianism is the way they unify Europe into a single bloc. The problem for the EU is that it has to deal with nationalism, and the many nation-states. The nation-state is the major stumbling block to EU ambitions. The EU wants to be like the United States of America as a single country. Brexit is part of this failure to subjugate nation-states.
