    I've lived in Slovakia for one and a half years, my wife is from there and I still have a lot of friends there and that article paints far too rosy a picture of the country's alleged success. The cost of living is quite horrendous, wages are nowhere near keeping up, 10% of the population lives abroad and unemployment and the number of people living in absolute poverty are still some of the highest in the EU.

    Slovakia's GNP figures look very positive at first glance, but the reality is quite different.

    It is all over now.

    Let the new British politics begin!
    I hope that this has affected the way that Westminster sees the Country outside of it's little bubble.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I think that no matter who writes the articles, they are almost all biased to a certain point of view. Unity almost always tends to be a better option (outside of invasion)
    I'm glad the vote went this way but can't help but to think that bad is to come.
    I hope I'm wrong but I really do see the rise of taxation and the blame put firmly on the union. There will be a huge amount of people wanting this to fail in the short term.
    Living MY dream.
