Undemocratic EU may not survive grim challenges
The basic argument is that nationalism is on the rise in Europe whereas the EU opposes national sovereignty, distrusts voters. You will find his conclusion curiously refreshing, I believe:
There is no democratic redress for any of the problems afflicting the union. Discontent will either be bottled up or will erupt on to the streets.
The EU may not survive.
COTTonLINE has suspected as much for some months now. Except the Brits, who have a commitment to democratic redress, may solve the EU issue for themselves via Brexit.
