I wonder what it must be like, becoming excited at every event and political crisis and being sure that this time, it surely will signal the end of the EU. Wasn't the French election supposed to that? Or the German? Or the Dutch? Or the Austrian? Or the Italian? Because there isn't a crisis because Italy wants to leave the EU, or even wants to leave the Euro, but because one party wants a minister that considers leaving the Eurozone an option.
'Eastern Europe is in revolt'. I literally had the Polish deputy Ambassador to the Netherlands tell me a week ago Poland loves her European identity, will never leave the EU and just wants more power to the memberstates. Also the EU shouldn't do more, but should do more in Defence and border control (without doing more, got it?).
