Pound up, employment up, output up.

On what basis?

On the basis where you have a central government practicing usury on its own citizens, profiting from them getting poorer. That is the eurozone.
On the basis of immigration where the eu continues to actively neglect the needs of Europeans.
And has fueled ethnic and religious hatred.
On the basis it takes away the sovereignty of individual nations in order to make decisions for nations as a whole. Don’t believe me? watch your beloved dictator Guy Verhofstadt in action .......
On the basis of no accountability by the commissionars. Voters have no say on what these dictators tell us to do.
It makes the legislative process remote, and unresponsive to people’s needs.
On the basis of the drunkard president junker.
He has no experience, nor qualifications in being the head of the legislature of 28 European countries and 513 million people.And yet you left wing returds find the time to berate trump.
And on the basis that a member state is about to leave.
Their is no benefit to being in the eu. Never was and never will be.
It was an illusion. You were conned by the biggest group of fraudsters in history.
It was never thought out properly. It was a knee jerk reaction to WW2.
A money spinner for an european elitist cartel.

Quotes from da net:

Following Juncker's graduation from the University of Strasbourg, he was appointed as a Parliamentary Secretary. He later won election to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in 1984 and was immediately appointed to the Cabinet of Prime Minister Jacques Santer as Minister of Labour.[14] In the second half of 1985, Luxembourg held the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Communities, permitting Juncker to develop his European leadership qualities as chair of the Social Affairs and Budget Councils.[14] It was here that Juncker's pro-Europe credentials first emerged.[14]

What additional qualifications do you think he should have, Ryler?
 
What additional qualifications do you think he should have

Er, Honesty?

“In early November 2014, just days after becoming head of the Commission, Juncker was hit by media disclosures—derived from a document leak known as LuxLeaks—that Luxembourg under his premiership had turned into a major European centre of corporate tax avoidance. With the aid of the Luxembourg government, companies transferred tax liability for many billions of euros to Luxembourg, where the income was taxed at a fraction of 1%. Juncker, who in a speech in Brussels in July 2014 promised to "try to put some morality, some ethics, into the European tax landscape", was sharply criticised following the leaks.[59] A subsequent motion of censure in the European Parliament was brought against Juncker over his role in the tax avoidance schemes. The motion was defeated by a large majority.[60]
 
Mott does not think that is a disqualification for a politician.

A list of ball. Cock honary doctorates and other waste of space nonsense given by a bunch of pencil. Pushers and paper shufflers

Any plumbing qualifications on the list

NO

blokes a dead beat and a sponger
 
Junker's awards are an impressive list. However, "Honorary" basically means you didn't do the work/study/pass the exams etc. And a lot of those are awards for punching your domestic agenda above your weight.
