I agree. The EU has become a 'marriage' of numerous unhappy, patently unequal partners and we're now seeing it all start to unravel. The only question is whether the inevitable 'divorce' can be handled amicably or whether, like most, it's going to get very acrimonious. I see some merit in trying to form an alternative looser arrangement of likeminded nations but have my doubts as to whether that will prove possible given what I feel is an inevitable downward spiral into turmoil and maybe worse.
