Too bad the EU is already fatally wounded.
Trapped by its own bureaucratic institutions, the EU is incapable of solving its two key problem areas: Immigration thru the asylum system and handling of the economic depression in southern europe caused by economic policies set by the EU.
- hyperbovine 9y agoThe voters of France, which suffers from both of the problems you mentioned, appear to emphatically disagree.
- maolt 9y ago25% of french voters did not show up. 12% of voters that did come vote put in a blank ballot paper. Macron received 65% of votes despite being against the most opposed competitor on the french political scene. We do not seem to give the same meaning to "emphatically disagree".
- chvid 9y agoI doubt it - le Pen was just too much to swallow this time around.
- riffraff 9y agoFYI, Spain just had +0.8% GDP growth on the last quarter, +3% YoY. Italy OTOH had about 0.9% in the last year, even if it got a lot of flexibility from the EU. The EU might have screwed up Greece, but "depression in southern europe caused by EU policies" is not a thing, each souther european state has had drastically different developments.
