European leaders need to make it clear that nobody wants this, but it’s needed in a world where Trump and Putin want to control us.
Tory traitors as usual
To think I had naive ideas like “well, it’s probably not needed. US is a good, strong ally.” in the past. At the very least Europe needs to be able to defend itself without US
How hilarious to see one of the scarecrows of Brexit now a clear EU membership benefit.
Because you all may have forgotten the “arguments” of the ImBrexiles, but I haven’t.
So not even a majority?
A ‘European army’ is unlikely to include non-EU states.
So… UK ‘public opinion’ is… not at all relevant, really.
I’m surprised its already so high
If we got involved in that then we are invariably rejoining the EU, people won’t stand for being under a government that in effect doesn’t control important parts of its own defence.
In every European country you have these idiots that in the UK vote for ‘reform’. IN the Netherland they vote for PVV and in Germany AFD. These people don’t seem to understand that real sovereignty is something our own little countries cannot provide for us. Without the EU each of us would become a playball for evil fuckers like the US, Russia and China. SO voting for these parties ironically helps undermine the sovereignty these parties claim to defend as their primary objective.
I would oppose this for two reasons: because it fails to understand the need for armed forces (navy and Air Force) and it sidelines the EU.
Now ask young British men, 80% of which are ethnically non-Brits, how willing would they be to fight to defend the UK.
That’s a vague question that has way too many follow ups.
Would we have a say in its use?
What’s the command structure?
Is it gonna be an army of lions led by sheep?
What about our other two branches of the armed forces? Is this whole encompassing for all parts of the military?
What concessions would be demanded of us for participation?
And last but not least.
Will the emblem and motto be good?
Historically it’s been Europe we’ve needed to defend ourselves from.
Honesty if there was a brexit reversal vote tomorrow probably 85% would vote to rejoin the EU.

It’s a good idea and needs to be brought about asap
Keep dreaming. No one is marching to Ukraine in unity/against Russia.
Question is a little ambiguous, could be interpreted many ways.
I was for leaving the EU, and am against Britain integrating into a single european army. However I am for joining a UN style European army. Cooperating, working together to secure Europes borders.
I like how this poll bascally splits Reform along the lines of people who dont know better and are clearly brainwashed but still “feel” the need for european defense. And the actual traitors. Whoever runs against reform next elections should hammer on that point and reform will crumble
The UK can’t protect itself from an invasion of its own borders by rubber boats, how the hell would it stop the Russian army?
I just wonder what the chain of command of an EU army looks like. Who says the soldiers go to war, who has a veto. Could be messy.
Unsurprising really. Setting up a separate military command whereby you devolve your troops to another commander is not likely to be popular in any European country.
It’s a silly question anyway, what does and it doesn’t include, what is the doctrine, purchasing policies, logistics, who pays.
I am pro European and on the basis of this questions I am at best ‘not sure’.
I’d understand that people were neutral or somewhat opposed.
But strongly opposed? Are they Russians living in UK?
Crazy that Reform, the party of Nigel Farage, is split between supporting or opposing the UK joining an EU army. What happened to the EU being muh evil bureaucrats?
Considering how many european countries are unable to even consider using such an army I understand our british friends
ahhh yes. Just what we need. More posturing torwards ww3.
I know, we should move anti balistic launchers to the polish border, some mobile nukes near finlands border, and repopulate turkeys ballistic missle supply.
Also we should build full on miltary bases along the border with russia starting in lativa/lithuaina. Concrete walls, guard towers, minefields. Patriot and iron dome systems. LAter on the dragonfly defense systems.
Railgun implacments along said border, increase our navel assets at the same time.
hell why dont we reintroduce the neutron bomb?
The worlds gone crazy, but becauses it the western world doing the posturing its fine?
if russia and china and korea did this, the reaction would be OMG WW3….
This is so crazy.
It is a terrible question that plays on emotions. The creation of a European army will be a bureaucratic nightmare. There is just too many stakeholders for this to even work.
The need a better defence pact.
It was a long term plan from Russia to separate the UK from Europe, they manipulated your vote for Brexit with modern cyber attacks and they fund alt-right parties all over Europe. Putin is already at war with the rest of Europe since decades.
Us not acknowledging that only plays into his hands.
