I beg to differ. None of the major long term problems have been solved, the can has just been kicked down the road in typical EU fashion. In the UK we've had more pressing things to occupy ourselves with in the last year or two but when the spotlight falls on the EU again their problems will be all too evident.

Not any sign of EU failing?
Now you are taking the piss. We have not left bloc yet, 2nd biggest contributor, the other 9 net contributors refusing to give extra, to compensate for U.K exit. Poland's tensions escalating further with EU..... Yeah everything must be a bed of roses in the EU, looking through those tinted glasses....

Yes it's the same when they look at Corbyn's cronies through them too.

They'd like to have both of course. They're committed to being as difficult as possible in order to dissuade other nations from trying to leave their club. How about that for respect for democracy eh? The scared witless that their grand project will fail and they'll try to trample over anyone who gets in their way. Frankly I'd far rather not be part of that sort of 'union'.
