26%. The EU was a good idea in principle, but, as we can see with ACTA, the euro crisis and the general hostility between countries, was ultimately crap.

According to various studies, about 1/2 of English people don't care about the EU. The ones that do view it as an international relations group and environmental watchdog, as opposed to a means to unite Europe as one. Therefore, I believe a score of 25% sound be normal, or in the teens if you are a old curmudgeon. I would fall into the old curmudgeon category myself. :lol2:

On a side note, a whole one third do not care for either EU or UK politics. Darkness Induced Audience Apathy?
I used NS a couple of years back, was involved in 6 or so fruitless RPs that died within days of conception. I never did anything memorable to anyone, including myself, to the extent of not being able to remember what my nation's name was.

Why am I back? I was searching the webernetz for pictures of xenotech power armor for a custom 40K Chaos Space Marine codex after /tg/ failed to produce any, and one of the results was here. "Oh, hey, I remember those guys. Heh. Let's see what they've got." You guys didn't actually have anything, but I had a look around and decided to make a new account because why not?

I got 26 percent ("Euro-logical") from the British perspective (I'm Norwegian)
Don't know how I scored that high, I am fiercely opposed to everything that tyrranical union stands for.

You people realise that the "percentage" is a respondent percentage, not an aggregate score of how European you are, right?

I know the readership of the Guardian makes it appear that way, but it really isn't.
