    Any other country seriously considering leaving the EU?

    I thought brexit was this titanic success of hindenburg-esque proportions and about as popular as a fart in a lift.

      It’s up to the people as always. Even the previous right wing government of Poland has rhetoric of leaving EU is which ignored by the population. Overwhelming number of Poles support to remain in the EU. Actually trying to materialise leaving the EU is unthinkable for most Europeans despite what these Euroskeptic individuals would want.

      The only reason UK elected to leave was because they think they still have an colonies to trade with and can be self-sustainable.

      The frontrunner of the Dutch elections (not yet the president as he’s not succeeded in forming a parliament yet) is pro Nexit.

      But he’s said that he’s not going to because we can trust him that his extreme views are set aside for now…

        Prime Minister. The Netherlands does not have a president.

        Don’t think (hope) he will be able to execute his Nexit ambitions, but they will take steps in the wrong direction for sure.

          Minister president is what I shortened, and I agree that I should have been more clear.

          I’m not hoping for a nexit , but don’t trust him saying he put that ambition in the cooler. If he has the chance he will enact it.
