Varoufakis is irrelevant.

  I think he was in a unique position as an "outsider" desperately trying to do his best to help his country and indeed Europe as a whole. I've read a couple of his books and I've definitely become more skeptical of how the EU is currently structured (although still a Remainer) and much more sympathetic to the plight of the Greek people.

  Do you care to elaborate? Given the power imbalances especially regarding the European Parliament, his statement is not wrong. Moreover, given his political work, we can safely assume that he gained quite a lot of insights into the inner working of the EU. So his personal opinion that results from the experience is anything but irrelevant.

  Kinda. He has some deep insight into (macro-)economics, but i fear he is too enamored with the EU project as an intellectual.
