Title: Things are spiralling out of control in Europe, faster than many predicted.

"Outside of Brexit, there is strong anti-EU feeling in Hungary, Spain, Italy, Greece and France. The EU is in danger of crumbling, and people afraid of losing power are prone to extreme acts of dictatorial control."

There's long been rumbles, but IMO it's more a case of wanting freedom to pursue national agendas outside EU restrictions (cf recent moved in Poland and Hungry to control their judiciary, for example). However, the economic benefits remain too enticing to leave - hence why even Greece at its lowest point a few years ago wouldn;t, and why even the xenophobes in the UK are struggling to agree an agreement to leave. :)
