My thoughts

My thoughts, belief, is that the European Market will soon start to crumble.

Nigh three years back now I said the same. My cousin voted 'Out', and when the result was revealed, she was over the moon. Stating I was well wrong when saying it will be two years or more before the states agree… if they do! Diana said differently. Now constantly reading  the 'Media Hype' she changes her mind every week now lol. However, doesn't say I was right or wrong lol.

However, I feel that now the more affluent and influential will, with regards of self-interests. They will think along the lines of a smaller, more powerful click of old boys who will carve up and keep the better elements between themselves. Their' self-interests, and of course the well being of their' countries being paramount.
The poorer countries, concerning them, who now take out more than they put in, will have to be offloaded. Politely discarded, but kept on board for 'Usage'!
Causing two new groups.

Hence the wealthier countries will undoubtedly have an agenda where they set up a 'Free trade' for the more impoverished country to allow them to deal with the 'Greedy Group' but having no say or a voice.
In turn, it will mean that they can exploit them, as they will, whom need to deal with them, but the 'Greedy Group' can do as it please depending on 'Buying prices' either way.

A lot will depend on the outcome of Brexit.

If we are successful in coming out in reasonable circumstances, then others in a similar situation may follow suit.


The whole problem with the EU, it is too large an organisation to eliminate bad practice and fiddling.


No one actually knows all that goes off and no one bothers where the money goes.


There has never been an organisation involving so many irregularities that has lasted and this will go the same way.

As Misty says '...… others in a similar situation may follow suit'.
That is a real worry, tied into own benefits that may be lost. So when others leave the 'Wealthier States will improvise like I said... maybe a two (even 3) tier groups... all exploiting the lesser wealthy ones.
