Italy contributes more money to Europe's balance than it gets back. So a weaker, smaller Europe would mean that more money remains in Italy.
Also weaker EU does not mean collapse of EU, so tourism would be the same, as would be trade.
I am not necessarily an advocate of this solution, however, just pointing out that the current status of EU is not the best possible world for each one of its 27 members States.
- ItendToDisagree 9y agoIs it possible to have a 27 state (or 50 state) situation that benefits all members equally though? History would seem to say no.
