Having just returned from Southern Europe, it is a very bad state at the moment. As soon as you leave the larger cities, you are greeted to swathes of empty business parks, boarded up house, and abandoned, part finished holiday complexes. In my years of holidaying in various Southern European nations, I have never seen things so bad. I was there for 5 days, and most of the shops were closed over that entire period.
Youth unemployment is very high in these states now, and it is no wonder that Britain is filling up with these desperate youngsters.
Then we have the situation in Calais, where thousands of asylum seekers have taken to attacking truck drivers on the French side, doing anything to get across the channel. The French authorities are completely overwhelmed. This is happening because the other nations in the EU aren’t policing their borders. How can freedom of movement work successfully when the other nations don’t play their part?
A Union of the Northern European states (excluding France) probably could have worked, but the cultures differences between the North and South are just too great to overcome in a financial union.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that England tires of the EU, and the EU tires of England.
