If such inssues are decided on such low educational level, I could only ask myself in desperation if this sinking island is worth my effort of trying to wake it up and save it, no matter how limited and small my effort would be.

Of course it's worth it! Be selfish, where are you going to run when the barbarians take over? Anyway, people are still relatively well off now. Not inclined to deviate very much from the politically correct position when looking for answers. The problem may be that, once it does get really bad in an acute way, they will be more willing to consider radical solutions, with as much cleverness as in today's politics, and we'll probably end up on the other extreme with some kind of neonazi psychopath in charge.

And once you vote "correctly", you never, ever, get a chance to change your mind...
The EU is the stochastic approach to dictatorship.
