Perhaps you could expand on that, and explain to us precisely the benefits we will all experience when it's happened?

Remember the USSR? A union of eastern European states that collapsed after almost seventy years. The collapse can be attributed to the financial incompetance which followed a political dogma that suppressed individual initiative and enterprise.

I see signs that the EU is becoming a kind of western European equivalent to the USSR. Not exactly the same of course but it has it's own dogma, and we have all seen the inflexibile adherence to that, and there is plenty of evidence of financial incompetance.

I'd say that the EU will collapse, or at least change significantly, in the next twenty years. The sooner we are out the better.

Incidentally, remembering that the extreme Left in UK politics has always been Communist, it isn't surprising that they are the strongest supporters of what is now happening in Europe.
