Now its later, and they indeed have run out of other people’s money.
“Why is the EU under rising centrifugal pressure? Why do so many nations of Europe seem on the verge of breaking up?”
That government is best which is closest to
the people.
- Thomas Jefferson
Facts are stubborn things and, for liberals, difficult to comprehend.
Jefferson had it right. Our “betters” today are always seeking to create a government which is more remote and less answerable to the people.
It's more than a fear, it's a fact. They're suffering from a cancer, called islam.
“Why, they ask, should we subsidize a less industrious and lazier south that consumes tax revenues we raise here.”
I remember the knee-jerk liberal, well traveled, rich kids in college, the world community professors, the elitist journalist, et el, telling me about how great Europeans have it: 30 days of vacation, 35 hour work weeks, early retirement, free healthcare, housing stipends, paternity/maternity leave, and on and on. Let’s here it now Lindsy Schnozzbottom. 30 days of vacation is now 30% unemployment with no relief in site. The money you make in those 35 hours is paying for smartphones for Gypsies and Headchoppers. You just thought you’d get to retire at 55. Healthcare is now Deathcare.
Sounds more like a reaction against the international progressive movement.
There’s a Saint George’s Hall in The Kremlin?
I’ll be darned..

Many of the people never wanted the EU. They are also unhappy with the management.
Things were forced on them. Sound familiar?
What is strange is only that it has taken this long for so many to fight back.
America is suffering from the same cancer as the EU--indeed, it was the American Left that pushed the creation of the EU in the aftermath of World War II. And it is the same collection of Leftist Ideologues in America, which has undermined--deliberately undermined--our sense of an American identity, and the desire to maintain an American identity in any form that the Founders would recognize. (See Norman Cousins & Surrender By Subterfuge.)
All decent people want a peaceful world--although we are likely never to achieve it. But the idea of destroying the cultural achievements of the world's very, very diverse peoples, in pursuit of the fantasy of human equality, is no step in any acceptable direction. None!

Briton s/h listened to Margaret Thatcher.
This make believe world of human interchangeability is mucking up the future of all peoples, everywhere. It is premised not on respect, but on an insane aversion to reality.
There is no single or simple explanation.
Well let me give it a whack: "Bureaucracy."
“Yes. And Britain should also have listened to Enoch Powell.”
I was just about to post that!

Are the Frisians beating the war drums to secede from the Netherlands, yet?
Those areas that are flooded with muzzies will soon enough desire independence so as to establish the European caliphate.
Hey you white Euros better start marking your territories before there is nothing left to mark.
How about, "overgovernment by green-eyed power junkies and overzealous hall-monitor types"?
Maggie got stabbed in the back and tossed by her own party, at the behest of the Build-a-Burgers, over the monetary-union issue. The Burgers wanted England to give up the pound sterling and go into the euro. Maggie told them "piss off", and some moral midgets in her own party launched the coup, the will of the Burgers for to build.
