I don't think the fat lady has sung yet. Fact is, in Britain, the most Euro-skeptic country in the Union, almost half of the population is now convinced that the EU is fine. From a historical perspective is amazing, considering the country was dragged in what it was, at the time, little more than a trade union, and is now a semi-federalist structure.

We only need a couple of generations of old angry men to die off, and then we'll be ok.



They might still not think the EU is fine. Just that leaving is worse. There will be reforms of the EU regardless of this outcome I hope and the member states left might stand to gain from it.


I don't think anyone is really claiming EU is fine. Or that the dividing line is defined along young/old.

What is being voted on is simply whether the good bits outweigh the sucky bits. Or whether the sucky bits are at least reformable.

Existence of the sucky bits is beyond question.
