Still, it looks like the EU passports have visa free access to between 182 and 190 countries. Great.

The UK has visa free access to 187, so is more POWERFUL than a Belgian by the looks of it. POWER!!

The loss of the freedom to automatically live wherever you want in the EU is a loss of Brexit. I'm not sure the above is that dramatic. I wonder what the single country the Dutch can have visa free travel to that we can't is for example?
Powerful, in the context of passports, also means things like consular support in case of emergencies as well as visa-free travel.
