Brexit should be the biggest story on the planet today

If it wasn’t the impeachment, they would find another way to drown it out.

The EU and its supporters are PISSED the UK pulled it off.

I wouldn’t think any of the PIIGS jump without a major external event happening.

Italy’s economy isn’t that strong so they would need a big push to jump.

The media would block this out regardless.

Must watch

Very likely, IMO. But they don’t have their own currency which massively complicates the situation.

The wisdom of Britain not to abandon the Pound was probably the only thing that made this logistically possible for them.

A country like Italy, trying to reinstate its old currency, would be disastrous.

One way the EU can survive into the future is to allow countries to restart their own currencies, as that can help some of the smaller economies in the union deal with the larger economies. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with bumps in the road, unless the EU essentially becomes a federation where countries give up more sovereignty.

I think the refugee crisis is actually instructive as to how the EU should behave. A crisis at its eastern border is a crisis for the whole union, and without central leadership who could enact action against the will of certain states, it was always liable to explode into something untenable. In contrast, a large federated polity such as the US would have dealt with the mass movement of people much better, at least in theory.

I hope Italy goes next. And then forms a trade pact with UK and the US.

Along with France. Leave Germany and Herr Merkel to be the only major economy subsidizing the mess they imposed on Europe. frick her
