Is anyone aside from the Corporate World Bank concerned with the collapse of the European Union?

Didn't the individual countries do quite well for a long ass time before they were owned by Goldman Sachs?

  • Yes we all managed just fine, apart from a couple of wars that is. I never believed the EU would work as it is now, a group of countries being dictated to by a bunch of unelected officials in the EU Parliament.  With Brexit in the works I don't think it will be long before other countries bail out too.

    Thank you for your answer.

    It troubles me that people cannot see the Union is about profit of the world Bank and has no concern for any of the countries.

     All the trouble it has lead to has however slowed talk of a North American Union which would surely devalue American and Canadian Currency, but one might invest in pesos if it looks like it's coming.

    I'm British and voted to remain. The EU was conceived after the second world war with the main purpose of establishing a federal political union in Europe to prevent another war. However, when my country voted to join the union in the referendum of 5th. June, 1975, it was sold to us as a Common Market, in other words, a trading partnership. While it also fulfills that purpose, it was not the main objective, hence the arguments of the Vote Leave lobby that it had become a political union, and it was not what they signed up for. It is beyond question that most of those who voted to leave, did so for nationalist/racialist reasons. In my area, someone was putting little laminated notices through peoples doors saying "leave the EU, no more Polish vermin." There is a wealth of evidence, going back through the years, which shows that the main purpose was political union, and now we have voted to leave, a lot of it is getting played in the media here on a frequent basis.

    The EU is hardly "collapsing". ONE country is leaving, and that may lead to the Balkanization of Britain as the majority of Scots and Welsh didn't want to leave, but the xenophobic English vastly outnumber them. (I'm not trying to imply that all English people are xenophobic, simply that there are more English xenophobes than there are Scots, period.)
    The EU was a good idea to begin with, but the three nations who began it as "Benelux" got euchred out of it (despite being headquartered in Brussels, it's become a German organisation). It was supposed to be an economic trumverate between three corporate minnows (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg) to give them a little economic leverage, but then they ballsed it up by letting the big boys in - mainly Germany and France.

  • Lets put it another way.  We are the FIRST country to leave the EU, Sweden is considering having a referendum and considering what has been happening there, not just in the last few days but overall I would imagine there's a good chance they would opt to leave. The uncontrolled immigration situation undoubtedly contributed to the vote to leave but it is unfair to label those who objected to the immigration numbers xenophobic!  Many of us have been made to feel unwelcome, in fact have been told we don't belong, in the towns where we grew up, where our families have their roots.

    Your last paragraph highlights exactly why the majority of people did choose to leave the EU.

    Those little notices I mentioned describing the Polish as "vermin" were undoubtedly Xenophobic, Yogafan. Given the number of people who voted to leave, there must have been those who voted for other reasons, but I don't believe I am mistaken in believing that the majority of vote leavers were xenophobes.
