Now we have the same forcasts for the EU. Given that brexit will take years the idea of the EU collapsing is just as likey as their Euro pronouncements .Two votes, one for a pro EU president and the other against an unpopular prime minister.. |

Genuine question. Apart from the bullshit rhetoric about dictatorial and stuff, why are you so keen for the EU to fail? Is leaving not enough?

The second point's interesting, though, given how insistent the Leave campaigners were that a whole world of opportunites abounded outside the EU. They never actually mentioned that the EU would need to crumble apart first in order to open up that possibility. I think the remaining nations will be happy enough to stick with what they've got for the time being, though. Until or unless the UK gets a "have cake and eat it" deal. |

The Global opportunities are there regardless of the fact that the Eu is crumbling ! Though the fact that the Eu is crumbling due to its numerous shortcomings could well be regarded as another reason for getting out, rather than continuing to throw good money after bad. :cool: |

"Existential crisis", Junkers "Serious crisis", Merkel. As if that isn't bad enough, old Junkie has today predicted another war ! "The Brussels chief said today that the DISINTEGRATION OF THE EURO PROJECT would herald a return to the “tragic history” of a Europe at war. In a series of sensationalist remarks he said the continent was living through dangerous times due to a rise in opposition to the EU." Obviously it doesn't cross his tiny mind that continuing catastrophic and mindless failed Eu policies are the main reason for the rise in opposition to the Eu and possible resultant risks. :cool: |

Our European Union is, at least in part, in an existential crisis. "Serious crisis", Merkel. As if that isn't bad enough, old Junkie has today predicted another war ! "The Brussels chief said today that the DISINTEGRATION OF THE EURO PROJECT would herald a return to the “tragic history” of a Europe at war.

If Britain isn't in the EU how can the EU limit Britain's opportunities? If the EU disbanded every country would fight for themselves and it could be far more competitive? (That's just supposing...but you know). I think the savagery of some to chase after something they don't believe in is a bit odd. I don't see great positives in the UK leaving the EU and the EU collapsing over just the UK leaving the EU. Which makes it all look a bit like winning a fight and knocking the bloke out, but then stamping on his head and getting others to join in to make sure he's dead rather than just unconscious. |

If the EU collapsed what would stop Germany (for example) creating freezones for banks and making their tarriffs, rates and barriers the lowest / cheapest and making the UK suffer. It sounds to me like some people who voted to leave are keen for the EU to fail in general and justify it with reasons that they would probably attribute to 'remoaners' in the run up. |

Love the goon at 3:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh195WgWGvU I don't believe that leaving the EU is good and I do worry that the UK will struggle in areas and I don't think it's the right decision but want the UK to fail? No. Which is perhaps why I struggle to see why you (the proverbial) would want the EU to fail? |

Italy looks like it's wobbling, but Austria appears to have shot down brexit/Trump type movement. Next year is a big year for Europe with French and German elections (and others I think). |

So turning that into "this was a vote against the EU" is all a bit far-fetched (not that you're doing that Scamp, I know. It's the others ;)) |
