    Good. The EU is an economic and political union so facilitating trade and movement between political allies seems only natural.

      Yeah, I don’t understand why people have a problem with this. I think it should basically always be true between peer nations that there is free movement and trade.

        There are a lot of jingoists around who want to use that character trait to amass power/wealth, or to find an excuse for things in their life they don't like. Sometimes, their grievances might even be legitimate.
