Nvr mind, you're right.
I think we should also have some tariffs and borders between counties. I'm sick of people from Yorkshire coming here taking jobs and selling me their shit.

Well, that's pretty much what you said. Except you couched it in terms like foreign business investment was somehow bad for the people who live here.

I think the British people are collectively about the same as people in every other country. There's some with above average intelligence and an equal number with below average intelligence. There's also a fair share of people who don't understand the issues they're voting on. If you think the UK is somehow special in that regard, then that is jingoistic.

The same applies to elections. Why should they happen so much more frequently? What happened to democracy?

Not sure if you're aware or not, but Russia just recently invaded the Ukraine and annexed the Crimea. So apparently they are something of a threat.

ya, talking and doing and two different things. Also, I'm pretty sure membership in the joint army would not be mandatory.
Moreover, the various members of the EU have often taken independent lines of foreign policy. Some went to Iraq War II and some didn't, for example.
