Paul D'Anno died

What is benefits to be part of empire Russia? Poverty . all post seviet countries won by being in EU: Only country I dont want see in EU is Serbia.

Ignorant westerner here, what are the benefits/cons of joining the EU?

I mean, you could say it went well DESPITE the alleged meddling. There's probably no statistic to back this up but I wouldn't be surprised if more people are in favor of joining the EU than actually voted.

Still, specially knowing corruption.

Disappointed with the result or how close it was?

Why? It's pretty much exactly what the early polls predicted.
