For the Dutch it was the trouble with the stability pact, the powerplay by the big nations (we don't want to loose our veto power) and the fact that we're paying millions of Euro's to EU (and UK in particular) and get nothing in return. (in UK case we get a thankless 5th colomnist).

The highest contributors to the EU coffers are Germany,

Then the UK (the figure below is including the rebate, we pay 5.something before the rebate). I think you will find that none of the NL Euro is going to the UK.

Then the Netherlands
