All the more reason to be part of a bloc and not try to go it alone.

Lol, spoken like a true jingoist. "I don't want them damn foreigners bringing jobs to my country!"

We should have a referendum on NATO too - I'm tired of being part of an alliance.

We should have a referendum on whether or not we decide important things by referendum.
