Re: The Remainers Party Political Broadcast - CH4.
Does anyone believe the EU will eventually collapse? Or will it be forced to evolve?
I’ve just been reading an interesting article by a leading academic, Professor Gwythian Prins former history and politics tutor at Cambridge and now emeritus research professor at the London School of Economics.

The European Union will collapse like the Soviet Union and I believe the EU has sown the seeds of its own destruction through ever-greater complexity and meddling as the benefits for its citizens shrivel.
Voting to leave the doomed bloc was thus “most appropriate and prudent” - not as Remainers claimed, the act of “stupid or culturally primitive racists
He urged Theresa Mat to be tougher with Brussels because the pro-EU elites are “cult-like” and impossible to reason with.
(his findings are on the Briefings for Brexit website.) Professor Prins used a method created by the American anthropologist Professor Joseph Tainer to analyse the collapse of ancient empires like Rome, Minoa and Egypt.
He found that organisations thrive up to a certain point of complexity. Like the EU for its first 45 years when the benefits of pooling powers outweighed downsides.
But there is a point when they become so complex that benefits shrink and they lose the support of citizens. He argues that moment for the EU was the start of the single currency 20 years ago and “things have been steadily falling apart” since.
The European elite, ignoring many citizens, had responded by pushing on for their superstate, at the cost of alienating voters with increasingly draconian demands.
Professor Prins claims there is growing anti-EU sentiments, including Britain’s “clear-sighted” Brexit vote “just in the nick of time”.
“All this evidence of citizen rejection while the project responds with further acceleration has plainly taken the EU into the zone of risk of collapse” he wrote. “And that is where it stands, shakily but defiant, belittling, bullying, hoping to dishearten the British in order to deter other prospective escapees”.
Likening the EU to the Soviet Union which lasted 70 years, he continued, “The project is 61 years old this month”.
“Absence of cultural reproduction suggests that, like its older sibling, the Soviet Union, it should not outlast a human lifespan”.

Well, there we have it. Can it even evolve? In my opinion, the EU is a German controlled pseudo communist state that the majority of people have been sleepwalking into since 1997! Can anyone see that it mirrors East Germany before the wall came down and is presided over by German interests and a German Chancellor! I honestly don’t believe it is capable of ever evolving,
The whole EU project has been based on the deception that is all about trade when Leavers know it is about politics and the agenda of Globalist business cartels.
It has no democratic mandate for its attacks on Nation state democracy and attempts to dismantle the indigenous cultures of each Nation.
As their scheming plans are now being rejected, they treat democracy and freedom of speech with disdain and an obstacle rather than something that should be respected.
It happened to the Soviet Union, it happened to East Germany. I believe it WILL happen with the EU. I don’t ever wish them to be on their knees, but they need to change. And change fast if it is ever to survive.
