END OF THE EU? Germany warns FIVE more countries could leave Europe after Brexit

FIVE European countries may seek to follow Britain’s lead in leaving the EU in a Brexit domino effect, Germany has warned.

France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary could leave.

Front National leader Marine Le Pen has pledged to hold a French referendum if she emerges victorious in next year's presidential elections.

While for the past two months a Nexit has been on the cards after Dutch voters overwhelmingly rejected a Ukraine-European Union treaty

Details of Berlin's concerns were outlined in a finance ministry strategy document.

Angela Merkel's country faces having to pay an extra £2.44billion a year to the annual EU budget once Britain has left.

Fears for the future of the EU have prompted German government officials to propose that Britain is offered “constructive exit negotiations”.

The aim is of making the UK an “associated partner country” of the EU, according to German newspaper Die Welt today.

48% who want to stay in EU, can still move to EU.

Had Exit crowd lost, they were trapped.

This is why Globalism is tyranny. No choices.

Merkel is worried about paying for all the illegals she invited that she was counting on the UK to support.

France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary could leave.

It’s like a big welfare program. They’re expected to carry less productive people. Sort of like we do here in the USA.

We’re also expected to support all the illegals and refugees that elitists want to dump on us.

The European Union cannot die fast enough. It was a bad idea with worse implementation. It is now a raging Frankenstein’s monster and it has to be put down.

“Angela Merkel’s country faces having to pay an extra £2.44billion a year to the annual EU budget once Britain has left.”

Oh, isn’t that interesting. Does that mean that the Brits have been paying an extra 2.44 billion lbs. more than they receive back...since I assume that money flow to and from the EU will cease in BOTH DIRECTIONS once Britain leaves. In other words, the loss of Britain should be REVENUE NEUTRAL, but it is not - so where does all this extra money that Britain has been gifting the EU go? Sounds like Britain was getting ROBBED BLIND by the EU.

(and that’s just Germany’s share...probably 8 billion when the other countries are counted)

The UKs net contribution to the EU is about £10 billion a year. I guess that’s about £300 per taxpayer per year.

The gross contribution is about twice that.

Bloated, unaccountable dictatorships don’t come cheap.
