Oh well.
As a student of politics, or 'political science' or whatever, you will know that you should consider ALL of the relevant available information before coming to conclusions.

For example, you mention 'the recent 'no' votes'. Why not also mention the recent 'yes' votes?

Do you know how many countries have ratified the proposal to date? Do you know what they were being asked to ratify? Do you even know how many EU members there are?

[Rhetorical questions - I don't need the answers as I do know them.]

And 'moving in the opposite direction' ? Opposite to Schengen ?
