A new bloc may be forming. Free nations versus the EU.
The political leaders of both Hungary and Poland are independent enough to consider leaving the EU. They, and perhaps Italy are the three most likely in the next few years. France and Germany do not want to admit the EU was a mistake, so they will cling to this slowly sinking ship a little bit longer.
Last I checked, Britain is still in the EU and Teresa May is working to make it more painful to leave than to stay, at least on the surface. Her government is splintering over her mendacity.
I’m actually surprised Nigel Farage is still alive. Perhaps Britain’s Deep State is getting soft. No fatal “accident” yet.
Not so much follow as sprint fast. The UK is bogged down in the details which is undoing the process. A country needs to “go cold turkey,” i.e. just set a near date and QUIT. The details can be worked out after and can be dictated to the EU in take-it-or-leave-it fashion.
Is not George Soros the majority shareholder in EU, Inc.?
I see CNN has a big titled opinion piece that Hungary is a threat to world order and the US must ‘act now.’ lol.
How much will that hurt economically? If they could hash a trade deal between them and Poland/Bulgaria/Czech Republic maybe that would help.
Brexit vote tainted?
