I Wonder How Much Longer the EU Will Last?

[abaris]

Now, I would not be terribly surprised if the UK left the EU; the UK resembles us a bit more than the rest of Europe resembles us.

I haven't got the feeling as if the Brits resemble Americans more than the rest of Europe. Popular culture and people are much more European than American. They still have their island mentality, enforced by their politicians, who, as in every other country, play to the lowest instincts of their electorate. Even Aussies and Kiwis are more European, going by their culture and the values of their people.

That said, what I really would like to see, is a politician or a party, telling the truth and actually working for the people. But I'm aware we're not living in Thomas Morus' Utopia.
