Well, Brexit is the worst thing to happen to the EU, because it means that other countries will do the same and the EU will become a union with 4 or 5 countries. I don't really want that to happen
I don't think so, they decided to join knowing the consequences and now they want to leave because things like refugees. If all the countries worked together better, they would have no issues. Canada accepted 20,000 Syrian refugees in 3 months and Spain has accepted less than 400 in 6 months, there are ways out of these issues
Of course it limits their sovereignty, but they've got to decide whether the benefits of the EU outweigh the limits. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

"they decided to join knowing the consequences"
Things have changed since 1973.
"now they want to leave because things like refugees."
So? Also, that doesn't change the fact that their sovereignty is threatened.
"If all the countries worked together better, they would have no issues."
Obviously, but that a rather naive statement.
"Canada accepted 20,000 Syrian refugees in 3 months"
And some of us weren't very happy about it.
"there are ways out of these issues "
Yeah, and leaving the EU is one of them.

What benefits are worth the risk of a nation losing it's nationhood to a super-state with terrible electorate representation?
