When the mandarins in Brussels decided to go from the Common Market to the EU they fucked Europe. Since then they haven't stopped building power, passing laws and increasing their power over Europeans. Because States mainstream parties were 100% behind the EU dream.

It made no difference whether people voted Left, Middle or Right, they all supported the EU making more people poorer than they made richer.

The biggest mistake of the EU was allowing economically poor and weak States to join. Then allow those States to adopt the Euro and borrow way beyond their means. Dumping most of Southern Europe into high debt.

Their next mistake was to allow people to move from one State to another and take jobs away from residents. Lowering standards of living for most Northern Europeans. And lowering tax revenues and raise Welfare Payments.

Now we see a growing Far Right Movement. The Liberals love to whoop and cheer when people like Geert Wilders, UKIP, Norbert Hofer, Le Pen, etc don't win power. 20 years ago the Far Right were a joke, today they're an alternative and even called populists. Because the EU has lost the will of many people. In fact, there are now parties inside the EU Parliament dedicated to destroying it.

The EU either stops treating people like sheep or the sheep will vote them out. It's not a question of if, but when.
