Although France may want out of the EU, there would be serious financial repercussions and if that lead to a collapse of the EU, those repercussion would be global and would throw the financial markets into a tailspin. About the only country that would like see that happen is Russia, certainly not the US or Europe.I can generally agree with the exception of the "if" in the second-to-last sentence. Shift that to "when" and we're in harmony.
Well, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but Putin seems pretty happy over this. The EU has always been a problem for Russia. Russia would certainly be able to negotiate better trade deals with the individual countries than with the EU. And if the EU fell apart, what's next? NATO?I've always suspected that the brexit was a Russian kgb project.
By the way, I know a French guy who lives here France, so has no brexit vote, but was such a strong supporter of brexit, that he organized his own French brexit support action team all the way in Paris.
But I think the French are a lot more Eurocentric than the island inhabitants of Britain. So for them to exit is a lot longer shot. Also France and Germany are the United financial axle of the euro, and France would not like to give that up, I think.
I begin to think that my historic prediction may come true in a few yeArs, that an endless pile of euros will be pumped into the economies of an independent Scotland, and a newly United Ireland, all the way from Berlin.
Do you think Scotland will arrange a referendum now that the English handed the place to the goons? And if yes, what outcome of the Scottish referendum would be your bet?
There will be another referendum, and they will vote for independence. It did not pass last time because a vote for independence meant they would be out of the EU. Now that is not on the table.Do you think Scotland will arrange a referendum now that the English handed the place to the goons? And if yes, what outcome of the Scottish referendum would be your bet?
Scotland needs the EU badly because their rapidly growing financial services industry which is over 7% of their GDP would die without the EU's single market of 500 million customers.There will be another referendum, and they will vote for independence.

Germany rules the EU, at least financially. And France rules it politically. How would an anti-EU referendum there go beyond the ultranationalist fringes?I still think Germany will be next to come to its senses and take a vote. How that might turn out I will not even attempt to predict but I really believe they will very efficiently hold an in-out election in 18-24 months. Especially if the island that is Britain does not sink under the weight of the Euro bullshit.
How was the UK never a real member of the EU?The majority of the people of the states of the EU are pro-EU. Neo-Nazi racist parties are a fringe element. The UK was never a real EU member. Good riddance.
At best, a federation of independent states. The EU works best as an economic federation, negotiating trade deals. Immigration should be controlled by member states. Maybe someday, the EU will be the United States of Europe, but that's a long time off. Members of the EU are still too nationalist for that. I think there are few citizens of Germany, Italy, France or Britain, that consider themselves anything other than Germans, Italians, French or Brits.They never agreed with Churchill's call for a United States of Europe, a union of states in a federal system like the USA.
Not the ones I know. I have never heard a tourist identify themselves a European. It's always French, English, Italian, German, etc..You are wrong. Most French, Italians and Germans consider themselves Europeans. The Brits were late to join the EEC they are not founding members.
There is the problem that many of these member states were drawn on the map to steal parts of their neighbor member state's homeland. This was done, for the very purpose of defining these identities as ultra nationalistic, not simply nationalistic. Even the Lisbon treaty didn't dare to challenge this. Why is this, and what is the real purpose of the EU then?Not the ones I know. I have never heard a tourist identify themselves a European.

Renzi is considered a right-winger, pro-US stooge. Former Boy Scout. You haven't a clue.
