So multi national companies can expand their territory into the UK and the bank that issues the euro can get rich off the interest rates and own the people forced to use it. Charge a membership fee of £41 million per day (and rising) and make this money un-accountable so fellow rulling elite can steal the money. First the politicians like Tony Blair had to be bribed this was done successfully. No vote could be given to the British public because it was known from research that they would say no to union. False proposals like a Bill of Rights were offered to the people but as of 2010 these still only exist on paper, after all this was not the original purpose of the EU.

The previous person to attempt European Union was a man called Adolph Hitler although many disagreed with his methods.

In short it was a cleverly orchestrated criminal conspiracy.

The UK had been desperately trying to enter the EEC since about 1961. Its first two applications to join were vetoed by Charles de Gaulle in 1963 and 1967. It was considered absolutely essential to have full and unimpeded access to the vast market that the EEC provided and also to be involved in decision making within the EEC. (Britain could have become a member when the EEC was established but at that time many leading British politicians thought the whole thing was huge joke).

The United Kingdom was offered to be a founding member of the European Union but refused. The UK has a history of minor isolation from Europe, and sometimes does not involve itself in European matters (which is much different today). The UK just thought there was no need to join the EU, but saw it as an advantage later on and applied for membership once in 1961, canceled, then reapplied again in 1967 and was granted admittance in 1973.

There is no answer to your question. What is now the EU was set up by six countries in 1957. They were France, Italy, West Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. So all 6 were first to join. In 1973 another 3 countries joined at the same time, so none of those 3 were first to join. They were the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark.

Because the UK government thought that the UK would be better off as members of the UK - which at the time only had nine member countries. There are now 28 member countries.
