The EU crumbles more each day. The show their disdain openly to the member countries that oppose anything they do. Many members will attempt to leave as the true Europe of old reinvents itself. Old arguments and battles reappear too often to dismiss. I give it 2 years and gone.
Unfortunately Europe has done little except squabble and fight for centuries. I read an article in n old edition of Encylopedia Britannica that said (something like) that as the mediaeval papacy tried to centralise its power it created a corresponding resistance that fostered nationalist tendencies and so led to Reformation. Oh dear oh dear.
