EU Problems


The EU could unravel for many reasons. Voters in several EU member countries want out, but their Parliaments are still resisting EU Exit initiatives.  All eyes are on the UK, where voters in 2016 voted to leave the EU and the deadline is 10/31/19. The EU might have succeeded in becoming the US of Europe if they had rejected socialism, embraced capitalism and adopted the US Constitution as their governing document.

EU member country voters have seen their national sovereignty disappear and freedoms lost. They paid a heavy price signing up to UN Agenda 21. The global warming hoax prompted them to invest billions on wind, solar and public transit that doubled their electric bills. The Refugee scam resulted in adding millions of welfare migrants refusing to assimilate and committing horrific crimes. Taxes are high and EU economic growth and opportunity are down. Many voters in the EU are becoming anti-EU.
