This is the discussion post. Answer it appropriately.

"Do you think that the European Union is good for the development of the European continent and the global economy? Countries such as France and Germany are putting quite a bit into the system to help improve the economies and overall standards of living for lesser economically developed countries (Poland, Lithuania, etc). Likewise, some countries (like Germany) have been asked to bail out other struggling economies (think Greece, Spain, etc) Overall, do you think the concept of the European Union is a good thing for the general population of Europe? Is it unfair that some economies have been asked to support others? How does this play in to Great Britain's exit from the EU?"
