The EU is dying
Watch
Announcements
Sorry GenialGermanGent, but it seems very clear to me that we are beginning to witness the end of the EU- at least on its current form.
Across Europe previously fringe Euroscepticism parties are in opppsition. Italy has a good chance like Austria before it of having a ‘hard right’ coalition. Next up is Sweden, Where the the Swedish Democrats are likely to do even better than last time if not win.
Brexit May merely have just spared us waiting for the inevitable

Cut the beast down and let us all return to Prosperity, I hope that Austria and Italy choose well in the elections and possibly we can knock some sense into the German population,

The EU is not dying if anything it is at its greatest peak of its history. The Euro's value is at an all time high, the EU's economic growth is at an all time high.
It's kind of Ironic how you claim Italy and Sweden could elect a right wing party because that was the same thing Brexiteers said about
How did that turn out?

Sounds like another Brexit wet dream like every country gagging for a trade deal with Britain.
China and India don't seem that bothered to me and the US is having a hissy fit and trying to stop British steel and British cars being exported there. I am sure there is a bloke in Somalia dying for a Cadbury's Cream Egg.
Even if right wing Eurosceptic parties did get power, most Europeans don't want the disruption and uncertainty they are seeing with brexit in their own country.

2) The EU's economic growth is at a ten year high, not an all time high. Considering that the last ten years starts with a recession, I don't think that's an amazing feat.

Like the NHS, the EU and it's predecessors have been on the brink of collapse since their inception.

The EU as it stands now being defeated would be a good step but is not an end in itself- eg witness the UK now or *shudder* Canada-who are in messes all of their own making.

Is that rhetorical? the far right didnt do anywhere near as well as they expected. Seems to me the pressure from immigration now is considerably less as they have more or less closed the migration routes via Turkey.

Return to prosperity? What are you on about? Do you mean like in the 30s when people lived in slums? Or like the 40s when Europe was at war? Or the 50s and 60s when most people in Britain didn't own a car or fridge? Or the 70s when we were all striking and on a e day week? Or the 80s and 90s when we had double digit interest rates?

This would only be true if technology or capitalism had not changed. Thus if we went back to a feudal system for whatever reason it would still be very different to the medieval one for s huge degree of factors- eg ‘peasants’ wouldn’t need to toil they fields 12 hours a day.
If we had totadays technology and knowledge, AND the society of 1900 era Britain, we would be far better off in my opinion.

Eg- divorces, suicides and abortions have all risen. People are less happy and less well integrated. There is far less social trust and cohesion.

The EU isn’t the real cause of our problems. Eg see the Visegrad nations.
