I think it will not (at least not in its present form). And if it is expunged from the face of the earth it will do 500m people (well, about 440m now) a great favour. It was a fine and noble idea sixty years ago. Its foundations were based on trade and commerce and it’s a great idea to remove trade barriers and tariffs and to facilitate free trade. But with the...

Isn't it? It seems to work for me.
NJ //Coincidentally, if my history serves me well, it was that very nation [Germany] that was the principle cause of the two world wars.//

I drawing a veil over WW2, the causes of the First World War are manifold, but the main instigator was not Germany, it was France and Serbia. (and if you don't accept that, I'll set my historian wife onto you) :0)
Khandro's correct, by the way. ^^^
I don't think the EU can survive in its present form and following its preferred course of becoming a United States of Europe.
'If' it can backtrack to become a trading market, then 'yes'.
I voted to join the Common Market, reasoning that economic ties would make war far harder to declare.
Can The Eu Survive?

I doubt it ( not that I care if it does or not, we won't be part of it for much longer ).
"Khandro's correct, by the way. ^^^"

I hope so for the countries that wish to remain, I wouldn't wish failure on any country .
The countries will not fail, Ann. It's the EU that's the failure.

ich; "yes the EU will survive. How arrogant we are to think that it cannot survive without the UK" - Who said it cannot survive without the UK? I'm talkig about the domino effect that comes later.
"I've never really understood the 'let's smash the EU mentality" - It's an evil empire that needs smashing
Judge: "The problem is that those in charge of the EU will not accept its failures and address them. They plough on fighting one crisis after another as if nothing has happened. They continually make the same mistakes expecting something to different to eventually happen. Their vanity will not let them accept that their project is a failure and take the radical steps needed to put things right" - as usual judge, bang on, yet another BA for your collection!
I hope so, and hope Brexit instigates some necessary changes. The UK was never a fully-committed member so probably better out for the other members in the long term.

The Euro seems to have held up pretty well through some very turbulent times so investors don't share the negativity of some.
