It's because the Polish government are going down an authoritarian undemocratic route, which is contrary to the conditions for membership of the EU.
Vegansrock is correct, the Polish people don't want to leave the EU. It's their government that is playing silly beggars. They're not bothered about 'the will of the people'.
This is true, the people like the EU, and why not indeed? Poland has paid in very little to the EU pot and they get so much back! That wasn’t the situation here at all.Polish people left en masse also, to more lucrative EU countries to work.
The government doesn’t want to leave either, but is enjoying
Having their cake and eating it.They want their own rules enforcing over the EU ones ( so did we, but we had to leave to get it.)They and Hungary will hold up the monies granted to all EU countries to help their economies after Covid. They will mess about some more until such time as EU patience is stretched then they will agree as long as they get a bigger pot of money.
