As an Italian, Italy leaving the EU can cause many problems to our country for many things. I can't say all of them, but it's very unlikely that Italy will leave the EU anytime soon.
Italy can't leave as it owes too much to the ECB, the only way is if Italy defaults on its loans and that in turn would bring the whole of the EU crashing down. Italy, like a lot of EU member states has been supported through its bad years by Germany and the ECB but with Germany stagnating and poor economic performance will the political will still be there for all member states to continue supporting Italy? Only a couple of years ago the wealthier EU northern member states did not want to fund Italy and Spain through the covid period and had to be offered incentives to provide funding. There is no political Union within the EU only a handful of countries who are not able to leave and those who are net beneficiaries who are happy to take EU money. The wealthier nations are able to get FTA's now in many other global trading blocs so the risk factors within the EU are high. If the US and China kick off you'll see all the cracks opening wide within the EU, Eurosceptic governments currently occupy around 30% of the seats in the European Parliament and if France turns to Le Pen in 2027 this will only grow further.
To be fair, as a Brit I can tell you leaving the EU could cause many problems (and did at the time of voting) but hey, some people still went ahead and voted for it anyway!
I agree with that. We just need to be united and staying together. I think our politicians Elits are so corrupt , they will be do everything for money {including to make Europe real war zone) .I believe, we are enough smart to see the reality .Our problems coming out of Europe . The last 20 years everywhere around Europe has war for democracy- Lybia , Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and all of the refugees running here .We supported this war's with our taxes. This is the sadly truth .
@@Gary-bz1rf debt is not much a problem in Europe. Greece, Italy, maybe Portugal are the exceptions. Countries like Japan and the US have much greater debt to GDP ratios than Germany, France or Spain. Most EU countries have a debt to GDP ratio between 50-99%. That's considered perfectly healthy. Japan's debt to GDP ration is over 250%, while the US stands at 130%. Debt is not going to tear Europe apart. Frankly, nothing will. Over 50% of citizens in every European country is staunchly in favor of the EU. That's staunchly in favor, not merely in favor.
@@Gary-bz1rf Not quite. The US is more highly leveraged than any of those European countries. Germany's cautionary approach may work in the midst of an economic boom, but at the moment, Europe cannot cope with austerity measures. Regardless, I do not see any European country leaving the EU anytime soon.
@@memorymeme51 Unlikely. The UK actually unwittingly dissuaded other members from leaving, and Eurosceptic parties have just been against European Integration, but don’t want to leave the EU.
@@memorymeme51 To be fair, the UK was never really in the EU lol. Anything, it seems highly unlikely that any country will leave the EU in the near future, but some major reforms to the EU are needed and I think they need these reforms over the next 5 years.
I am also a swede and study economics and literally every expert on Swedens economy agrees that the free trade that EU members have with each other is vital for the economy of our tiny nation (relatively tiny compared to other countries and their populations).
@@bram6567 yes but one could argue that perhaps you could have free trade without political union, or without freedom of people to immigrate to another country.
As an Austrian: While it's true that EU support in Austria is generally low compared to most other countries, positive opinions have been growing again. In the last Austrian presidential election of 2022, many candidates (including FPÖ's Rosenkranz) proposed to leave the EU, yet the current pro-EU president Alexander Van der Bellen easily won with 56.7%. The only major eurosceptic Austrian party, the FPÖ, has been recently gaining support again in some Austrian states (despite their ties with Russia and the Ibiza scandal), but it still won't be easy for them to leave the EU as long Van der Bellen is still president (as he dislikes their chairman Kickl, who might win the next Austrian legislative election in 2024). In my opinion leaving the EU is a terrible idea as Austria would probably face an even worse economic crisis than Britain. I don't mind Austrian neutrality, but I strongly oppose to leave the EU.
Do you believe elections in Austria are legitimate btw? I mean, is there a likelihood that any stage of the counting process could be rigged? I am greek btw.
As a fellow Austrian, I can only say... Exactly what you said. Thanks. And to add a bit.. Austria leaving the EU would really be very, very sad... Hopefully our political party with a strong tie to (the wrong parts of) history continues also with old habits of torpedoing itself as done regularly in the past...
@@thomashaidvogl4467 Many Austrians who hate the EU have no idea what consequences it will have. I'm fine with our neutrality, but no, joining the EU did not destroy our neutrality like some Austrians are saying today. Leaving the EU (basically an Öxit) will just cost a lot of money and take years, then Austria will face major economic crisis like Britain. Considering that Austria is a small landlocked country which uses the euro and is almost surrendered by EU countries, it would fare far worse than Britain. Let's hope it will never happen.
I agree with you my friends, Austria should be a part of the EU, but why can't Austria show solidarity and just un-veto us already? Whatever arguments the politicians say they let Croatia join
@@bogdantudor7195 Are you Romanian or Bulgarian? The Schengen situation hasn't changed yet, but I hope it will. It's quite hypocritical to let Croatia in (as it's a very popular holiday place for Austrians), but not Romania and Bulgaria (though the latter also needs the Netherlands' approval). Austria leaving the EU doesn't mean it'll leave the Schengen Area too. The FPÖ winning the next Austrian legislative election in 2024 unfortunately won't change the Schengen situation, but they fortunately won't be successful for an EU exit as long Van der Bellen is till in power.
The EU could have avoided all of this if they just grew a backbone & stopped being scared of being called racist Protect EU borders, restrict non-European immigration and you have an eternally more healthy EU
The large part of migrants are seeking asylum. By definition, that isn't illegal and it's protected under the UN and European human rights charter. You are proposing naive end goals, not actual solutions. So what is exactly your solution when you mean limiting "illegal migration" ie. Asylum seekers?
I'm Italian, we will never ever leave the Union, we were one of the founders, and part of us feel first European rather than Italian. We are and we will always be European.
No other country has the guts to leave, they see it as too much hassle even if they secretly do want out. How the Brits managed to stick to their guns and see it through is commendable. The EU will get much worse as the years go by, with more intrusion into the lives of citizens, and way more rigid laws forced onto every country.
To be honest, after Brexit I don’t think any country in the EU is considering leaving at all. I don’t consider it accurate to even portray these countries as possibly leaving the block. On the other hand, with the election of more right wing parties around Europe I believe that their goal is instead to make the EU more right wing as a block. For example by implementing stricter immigration policies.
But this is in conflict with what the EU fundamentally stands for. Even national parliaments, like Poland and Hungary, with right wing majorities can't overturn what the EU commisioners have set in stone...the only way you can do that is by total withdrawal from the EU.
I think massive immigration is a feature of EU policy not a bug. This is why they not only fail to address it but chide and threaten countries like Poland when they take matters into their own hands to do so. Its part of their agenda that has nothing to do with the will of the average citizens. The video is correct that many or a growing number are unhappy with the EU and its growth in power, corruption, and growing undemocratic imposition of unpopular edicts. The video is also right that any leaving anytime soon is very unlikely because it would be a bureaucratic nightmare with many disadvantages of trying to function as part of Europe but not part of the EU. And they know they'd face retribution tactics, as the dreadful EU head Von der Leyen said when Italy elected a populist, "we have ways of dealing with them". I think the EU has morphed into a monster but I don't think any more countries in it will leave soon as the cost is too high. The EU economy is about to fall off a cliff though so we'll see what happens.
@@elizaj4431 The EU is struggling to deal with immigration because the memberstates are at odds with each other over how to handle it (some countries have a distinct lack of solidarity in this regard) and the EU has limited means and power to deal with it to begin with. The way memberstates deal with immigrants vary wildly, after all. "The EU economy is about to fall off a cliff though so we'll see what happens." Got any actual evidence of that? That is not coming from a brexiteer?
A pro EU right-wing party would dominate the Union. All pro EU party’s are left-wing or slightly to the right. I am pro EU and for a federal union, but we need good border control, less immigration, and a more transparent election system in the EU. A directly chosen president would boost EU patriotism.
At the moment Italy isn't likely to leave the EU. There are a lot of reasons and one of that is that basically no party in the parliament is pro-leave. The most euroskeptical were the League, but now it's pretty neutral and irrelevant, and Brothers of Italy which aligned to EU and NATO despite it had 33% of the votes (or something like that)
It doesn't matter what the political parties think, ultimately it is what Italians think. The mainstream parties are in the pocket of the EU. If they don't deliver what the people want, they will be ousted from power. How popular is the € in Italy? Were Italians given a referendum on their currency or was it just imposed? Just ask yourself fundamental questions. Bentornata alla Lira! 🇮🇹
Love your content! Looking forward to maybe a longer video that takes a deep look into the steps EU has to do if it hopes to turn into a federation. (How the steps would even start and who has the power to do so?)
I highly doubt Italy would leave the EU, they stand to lose far more than the UK is losing, being out of the EU, mainly because Italy has an unstable political and economic system, them being out of the EU wouldn't do them any favours when it comes to investment in the country, especially as having easy access to the EU market is a big advantage. What we really should remember is that the UK is a special case, they've never had the vision of a united Europe, they joined the EEC whiles more or less lying to its people about what the project is about, a lot of the other EU countries might have issues with how it's run, but none really want to rip the project apart, which is more or less what the UK wanted, any issues other EU members have with the project is more about wanting to change the project, to serve their interest better, this is a massive difference on the UK compared to every other EU country, even Hungary and Poland were they complain, is more about wanting to change the project, not rip it apart. The truth is, the UK never wanted in the EU in the first place, it's always been a troublesome country and had by far the most op-outs out of any EU country, a common theme with pretty much every other EU country is that they want change and reforms done to the EU, many are not happy with how it's currently run, but that's a long way from wanting to leave the union and hence, we see the same pattern with Eurosceptic parties throughout the EU, they tell the people things like wanting to leave the EU or the Euro, but once in power, they change their tune as reality kicks in, we saw that in Italy over the last few years, only for the current government to tone it down a lot once in power, because if they went thought with what they were saying, it would be them that would get it in the neck once it impacts the people, in that sense, they are smarter than the Conservative party in the UK, or maybe, they saw what was going on in the UK with Brexit and thought, this isn't for us, probably why support has been going up for the EU in every EU country, and ironically, even in the UK. My point I'm getting at, it's easy for the party that's not in power to say they'll do this and that for the people, it's another thing delivering on that, hence why opposition parties promise more than they can deliver, and if they win power, they tone it down as reality kicks in.
We agree with you completely. Italy is very unlikely. So are all the other 26 Member States. This video was more along the lines of: If we HAD to choose 3 countries leaving the EU - who would they be :)
We left your 4th reich brilliant , and you are now bankrupt . It’s like 28 people going for a meal only 3 can pay 1 left so hopefully you can find someone to pay 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Swede I agree I want a United Europe. But I am not so desperate for a United Europe that I will ignore all of what the EU is doing. I want reform in the EU, but if that doesn’t happen (which doesn’t seem to be happening, for example they aren’t doing anything about immigration) I would support leaving.
@@L333gok well if they had stuck at a trading block fine . But if you look at history it was always meant to be the new reich. Why does it need a flag,anthem , presidents , a parliament , and now a army . For trade purposes ???? Remember the first president was a high ranking nazi
I think that no other country will leave the E.U any time soon but that due to it's lack of democracy and socialist policies the E.U like the USSR will collapse by itself and sooner than most think. The European elections are next month I would like a single E.U citizen to tell me who are the candidates do the Commission's Presidency or to be the Commissioner responsible for the migration policy.
Europe is dying and its leaders seem not to be able to understand the nature of the problems occuring and the bureaucracy only makes things worse. Leaving the EU is not something that would solve all problems member states are facing but insisting on staying in the EU no matter what is not healthy either. In other words, the options we are facing are not black or white.
Poland seems currently out of love with the EU. Certainly the UK's success in leaving and continuing to attract investment will be seen as a possible green light.
Im born and raised in vienna Austria, and though i despise the FPÖ i am absolutely not surprised that theyre very popular, in my district it is actually so rare to hear people chat in german on the streets that i actually get surprised by it sometimes. Also alot of immigrants have formed their own communities whether its turks arabs, ex-yugos etc etc
If these people left the county Austria would be in a stand still … guess u lot will always be as ignorant n xenophobic… well u had concentration camps for people in both world wars … only cure for u is the imminent demographic change that is inevitably going to happen sooner then u may think :)
Europe needs to learn how to assimilate its immigrant population better like the USA. For example, there is mass immigration to the USA from Latin America, China and India, but they don’t pose a threat to American culture, way of life, politics etc.
Uk was always the odd ‘man’ out in the EU and it’s particular unique circumstances made membership a very complicated issue. I can’t see any of the remaining members leaving as on balance I can’t think of another country where it’s even a close call. The UK economy is setup differently than our continental neighbors, we also never joined Schengen and we had our own currency amongst many other things (not least of which, uk never wanted foreign policy conducted by Brussels) . Uk looked at eu as more of a trade issue whereas many on the continent see it just as much as a political union to prevent another ww2 style situation. Even for uk, I would have voted remain back in 2016 but now I’d vote leave if the vote was held in the current situation. I can make a case for membership and I can make a case for leaving- to be honest, it will almost certainly be better for the eu to have the uk out as more current eu citizens want an ever closer union and the uk would have stood in the way of that. I do think the uk leaving has shifted the balance a little and new coalitions are being formed, Germany has been much more assertive and comfortable being seen as the dominant power recently and the frugal four have likewise been more upfront about what they are willing to accept (I think the uk used to be a useful shield for some expensive ideas for those countries as they didn’t need to be the ones annoying their neighbors if uk was holding an idea back anyway). France likes grand ideas and positioning their president as if he speaks for entire eu. Regardless it’ll all shake out in the end, I don’t foresee any other eu members leaving, I think some of the ideas the true believers want like an integrated military are also unlikely but a union of a United States of Europe isn’t out of the question with powerful member states and if that’s what the citizens choose then good for them. I think it gets lost a lot, that Brexit was the democratic will of a country - you can argue about which side exaggerated more or which region voted or how many citizens didn’t vote but that’s true of every election and the result is the result (if you start only respecting democracy when your side wins then you end up in a US republicans situation).
thanks for the interesting comment. I agree with you that the UK was a more "difficult' member. But nonethless, I was sad to see them leave. I think the UK was a great counter balance towards France and Germany and I think the EU (and Europe) was stronger with UK part of the Union.
Since we joined the euro, Italy hasn't grown economically anymore, and I find it unbearable to take orders from the French and Germans, It's not what the fathers of the country wanted in 1860, Get away from this gang of bankers who hate Italy
I think most of us do not even consider a WW2 situation even remotely possible, with or without the EU. What the EU actually did on the continent is to just get things done nobody ever expected to be possible, f.e. Schengen. Who would have predicted that there won't be a border between France and Germany. But today Switzerland is part of Schengen. We all know how much neighbors love and appreciate each other. And no surprise, Europeans share one sport, bickering with each other. And still, despite this attitude and veto powers, the EU gets stuff done. Highly experimental stuff that would be unthinkable not only in the USA, but also in each member country individually. Systematically, the EU is not really very democratic. But still, EU regulations are often so much more reflecting the opinion of the people around Europe, much more so than local governments who are structurally more democratic. The EU is not pursuing its global interests with military power and mostly operates through market regulation. Still it has more regulative impact than the USA and while the EU can not manhandle the rest of the world as ruthlessly as the USA, it seems to promote reason, something I at least appreciate a lot.
In opposit to Salvini, who is strong Russia oriented, Meloni is expressively pro EU. And she claims to do constructive work for EU. That the current EU reality as migration magnet, espacially because the left goverment in Germany, gives nations like Italy a very high charge of problems. And Meloni has right, that a lot of EU principles an targets stand on questions. A lot must change !! Australia stopped (uncontrolled) migration completely. The Germany dominated EU policy stands for high migration and economical and industrial decay of Germany and entire EU space. Meloni attempts to change something in the EU. And she is right. Germany forbits nuclear power, whereas entire Europe builds new nuclear power stations. Germany was most reluctant to support Ukraine in their wish to change from Sowjet Union into (west) European Union. Although Germany pays still the highes EU contributions, it will lose this ability because of economical crashing Germany by wrong politics. And nowaday new EU/NATO member like Finland brings a new kind of pragmatism into Europes way of thinking. Moreover most EU members and their citizen realize, that isolated european nations are an complete NULL on international stage. This international stage is ruled from USA and China. Russia makes a lot of trouble and has still friends in middle Asia (India etc.). But it feels not as an strong global player like nowadays China. Most Europeans know, that even an united "Great Europe" is still an much weaker Player than the USA or China. And the English people are not so convinced, that Brexit was a good solution.
right after taking office in brussels proves that. I have to defend a lot of what you criticize about Germany, the biggest mistake of German industry is the industry, the USA makes most of its money with service companies such as UA-cam, Meta, Apple and Microsoft. Oh and the migration of industry and know-how to China, especially the solar industry. For Germany, I think a "Meloni" is wrong as chancellor, just like the AFD and, to a certain extent, the FDP, but I'm also not satisfied with any party in the Bundestag. everything just not afd
@@Lilo-of-Rivia The USA is intelligent enough to realize companys like Microsoft, Google, Disney etc.. The Europeans are to dull for such an activity. But in production industries Europe was long relatively strong. But this changed after 2000, when China becomes finally the factory of the world. Most european nations have perhaps 10 % GDP from industry. Germany holded long time over 20 % GDP from industry. But now Germanys industry becomes crashed too. The USA currently start to reindustrialize the USA. They build new domestic Chips factories etc.. In Europe it is also discussed about it. But in reality the industrial crash of Germany and other european nations continue with full speed. The left parties want to stop the exploitation of factory workers. And they do it by destroying factories. Is this a good idea ?
@wolfgangritter Well said. I see that kind of future for Europe, too. Only together we will be strong, each and every country as members of the EU. There are very serious problems waiting for the younger people, like the climate change. Let's give the youth as good start as possible. Much love to everybody from Finland.
I actually checked the source they linked in the description but I found different data from the ones shown in the video. For example Slovakia is actually a net beneficiary whereas Italy is a net contributor
Great video. It's interesting how things have changed. I remember in 2016 it was a really big possibility for many. Now we talked about it like a fringe scenario, not at all realistic. It's something to celebrate, but of course not a reason to ignore the problems and assume that everything will always go well. You are very right on the migration point.
its many times more likely that the UK will rejoin the EU (united or not) than any otger country leaving, no european country is capabile to politically relevant alone in todays landscape
Let's be honest, rejoining is the only way to save the country, otherwise Scotland will eventually hold a referendum and it will not be in favour of the UK.
Uk will probably never rejoin the EU Honestly I can only see n.ireland uniting with ireland And Scotland joining independently England would reject rejoining eu and Wales also wouldn't rejoin the EU Honestly Brits should've accepted Schengen and Euro With the Euro currency the uk would be a lot stronger
@@billocoy9811 Ah yes, boot a somewhat struggling member who has basically agreed on all matters with the EU and keeps many refugees at bay. You're so delusional. Atleast Bulgaria hasn't been as annoying as Hungary or Austria in passing legislations.

Bulgaria is no worse than Romania or even Greece or Hungary in the current EU Sphere and Austria hasn't been a very open minded country AT ALL.

@@sevenoxia7199 I didn't mention a word about Austria, you seem to be imagining things. Bulgaria requested to become a Soviet Republic but that request was denied by the Soviet Union.

You admit that some Bulgarian politicians claim Macedonia's territory. That is enough for Bulgaria to be immediately booted out the EU. Don't try to defend the indefensible. Things are so good in Bulgaria that you appeared to have run away to Australia.
Brexit was only messy because the Government that promised it were half remainers if they weren't brexit would have been a smooth process. Italy are only 66% in favour nowadays because they realise that even though their EU membership has not saved their country economically it is also true to say that Italy would have failed a lot quicker without it. Basically the ECB has been saving Italy for years by throwing money at it, inevitably though it will fail with or without them. But agreed, not being in the Euro makes leaving a lot simpler, the second and third largest economies of the EU are broke and the Largest, Germany is going downhill fast.
@@phoenyan2087 I still don't get why sometimes pepole get surprised by this fact 😅 Italy as a founding member of the EU has always been among the top 5 net contributors. Let me remind you that it's the 3rd economy in the EU and the 7th on a world level 🇮🇹♥️🇪🇺
Net beneficiary is a bit too simplified. Those countries are dependent on the EU because of labor. Young educated workers leave those countries after attending vocational schools and universities. Thus their individial countries already sunk money into them. Those young workers will go to other countries and pay their taxes to those. Their birth countries lose workforce and do not gain from those that leave. Meanwhile foreign companies set foot in the countries that can easily outcompete their competition, then take their profits back to their home.
Basically, if the EU had handled the immigration issue properly from the start, not only would there be fewer calls for member states to leave, but maybe even Brexit wouldn't've happened at all...
When institutions fail, they often fail in unexpected ways and very fast. I joined the Royal Navy in 1985. No one had any idea that the USSR would collapse in 6 years. If countries do leave the EU, they will leave en masse either due to a massive wave of uncontrolled immigration, the collapse of the Euro or because the G7 decides to stop supporting Ukraine and the Baltic States decide they need their own nuclear deterrent.
@@petertimmermans8425 Why did the French and the Germans move so fast to stop Greece's public spending? Because Greece's debt levels were seen as unsustainable and a danger to the Euro's stability. Italy has a lot more debt than Greece, Spain is also massively in debt. If Italy or Spain defaults, the Euro could collapse. All 3 Baltic states use the Euro. What would a Russian attack on these countries do to the Euro? I am neither anti or pro EU, but I do see risks......
Both in Poland and Hungary it is the rather right wing, nationalistic/conservative parties in government that are acting out, but the populations of both countries are by a large measure in favor of EU membership. Italy has an immigration issue that europe is admittedly struggling to help it cope with. But leaving the EU would leave the Italian economy up a creek without a paddle and a leaking boat. Sweden is not a realisitc option either. They even want to join NATO now. Austria like Italy has an immigration issue, but leaving the EU would at the moment leave it surrounded by EU members, aside from Suisse which has close ties to the EU in many ways. As is pointed out there is a difference between euro-sceptics and anti-EU membership. The rise of these parties may well force the EU to act in certain areas that need adressing, like immigration.
Italy was used to ferrying "refugees" from the African coast home to Italy and then help them move up to Northern Europe. It still does that, unfortunately, but we have become much better at resisting the Italian Importees so now Italy (finally!) has to foot more of the bill itself. That is a good thing. A very, very good thing. Perhaps Italy should just stop ferrying migrants from the African coast to Europe? Oh, the Italian judiciary won't permit that? Perhaps Italy should get better judges... this is not a problem that the EU can solve for Italy.
@@peterfireflylund "Perhaps Italy should just stop ferrying migrants from the African coast to Europe?" It doesn't 'ferry' them. Some arrive on the shore by boat (if they don't sinkm and drown along the way) others are picked up from boats, sometimes already sinking, by coast-guard or NGO's. How this 'encourages' others to risk their lives in this way (for a hefty price-tag) is a matter of debate.
As an american I'm aware what happened to Britain economy after they left the EU and look what happened even today their still in hot water right now Any more countries leaving the EU is a really bad idea. People should litterly learn what just happened to the UK sense after many EU countries saw what happened after one of their own left and they paid the price, pretty sure now mostly none of the others wanna end up like they did!
I don't understand why leaving the EU is so tied with immigration concerns. If anything, leaving the EU actually made it harder for the UK to control its borders.
It didn’t make it harder, it made it easier, but that doesnt mean much when their politicians don’t do anything about it. They left the EU so they didn’t have to follow their laws, but they kept following them anyway. They could refuse to take in immigrants but don’t.
We keep hearing the catchcry "European Values", but what exactly are they, if you can please explain? I mean, did the EU apply Europeans values when they bailed-out the banks, the wealthy minority and enforced debt and austerity, a sharp decline in living standards on the masses? I'm not trying to be facetious and genuinely want to know and be disproven about my criticisms too, so please let us know.
Sweden has become less likely to leave after Brexit, the two only parties in the parliament that wanted to leave (The Left + Swedish Democrats) abolished that policy and now want to focus on electing their representatives to the EU parliament and reform it instead.
It won't be geographical countries that leave the EU but functional activities. Imagine that a hypothetical 'widget' industry operates across the collective west (i.e. Anglosphere, EU, Japan etc) and in the wider world. It interacts globally and in real-time via the internet. Why would the 'widget' industry want a uniquely European regulatory framework? This is going to be especially true if the EU regulation is time consuming, bureaucratic, expensive and, in truth, obviously protectionist or designed to promote the EU's underpinning philosophies
I think the more accurate question is which countries would block closer integration or opt out of closer integration if given the option of a tiered approach. My prediction to that question would be VERY MANY.
Very interesting comment. This will go on the list and indeed, I think it is a better questions too. Anyone leaving the Union now is extremely unlikely
Hm, like, another nation exeting after the results of an exit ware shown? Unlikely. As an Italian i preatty much know that it is the EU that is doing more for us youth than our own government, and this is slowly getting a foot to the even older generation, if nothing happens in the next future, then in 20 years i can preatty much see a more integrated and Eurofriedly Italy.
Hungary is not anti EU. It has a populist leader as Orbán. But its more complex than that. Populism is not an ideology while a federal EU, multiculturalism and western apologist sentaments, woke culture are in contrary ideological. Hungarians dont like these, not because of conservatism, rather that there is nothing they can align with. Its like adopting current policies in the 70s west.
Both Austria and Sweden have joined only relatively recently in 1995, maybe there is also less of a tradition of being an EU member. I still think that Hungary is the most likely candidate for leaving, even though also for them it is not very likely. I don't agree that we should exclude net beneficiaries of EU funds just because them leaving doesn't make financial sense. As we have seen with Brexit, popular sentiment is often not sensible. :) Another notion is the term of "net beneficiary" - Western companies are making billions in the new member states, and are taking back a healthy profit to their home countries. That is money that is missing in those countries. Case in point, none of the supermarket chains or the larger banks in Czechia are actually Czech. To be honest, the biggest takeaway for me was that Czechia and Slovakia are now net contributors, and Italy and Spain are not? What? I'm glad this is not mentioned widely in Czech media somehow, because otherwise my most likely candidate would be precisely Czechia.
As a Briton, it really seems like if any nation was going to leave (or bring the EU to the breaking point) it would be France. They alone have the geopolitical clout left to go it alone (the UK was the only other member state with that kind of influence, although these days it seems it was more of an illusion). But it might be more in the interest of potentially eurosceptic french politicians to try and co-opt the EU for purposes of French hegemony, using their overseas influence as a tool to that end, rather than outright leaving as the UK did (especially with how that particular endeavour has fared). But honestly I don't think any country is likely to leave anytime soon, unless at some point the whole Union collapses. Even if France tries asserting some sort of hegemony I doubt it will work very well and will likely be challenged by other members, and I don't expect France to be likely to fall into the kind of "illiberal regime" that has taken hold in some of the eastern states, at least not for an extended period of time. With any luck the EU will be enlarging soon, there is some merit to Macron's argument on "centralisation before enlargement" but personally I am of the opinion that there are so few remaining non-EU european states, that we might as well enlarge so as to reduce future complication. The Western Balkans and the "Ruthenian States" are really the only last regions that need to be brought into the fold. Integration of The Caucasus is not desirable under current conditions. Turkey is desirable but not practicable for the next decade or so. Russia is somewhat desirable, but completely impossible. Even if the Putin Regime fell, the Russian population would still be hostile to joining, and most europeans would despise them (they're also a good boogeyman for european unity). Eventually Russia will try to join, perhaps we will even accommodate them, but it will take several decades, perhaps even the collapse of the Russian Federation, though hopefully not. The UK needs a shit ton of internal reform before rejoining. The UK is essentially undergoing a revolution, though due to the influence of modern society it has not devolved to violence (yet?). The british political system has remained for centuries, albeit reformed periodically to better represent the times. It seems that in recent years the "social character" of the british has changed dramatically, exemplified by the brexit vote being so divisive (something that wouldn't've happened 50 years ago). This "social revolution" has pretty much broken the political system, which just doesn't work with this new kind of population. Extensive reform will be needed, and if it isn't realised (which largely depends on the competence of the incoming Labour government, something I'm unsure of) then I fully expect outright revolution of some form within the next 10 years. Eventually though, the UK will probably rejoin the EU or some version of the EU if it still exists. It might be as 2 or 3 separate countries, it might be as a republic or a reformed monarchy, I honestly have no idea, but it will probably happen, it is a fate that is far more aligned with the interests of the coming majority culture than it is with that of the old culture which ripped us away from the continent.
As a Dane I feel that while it is currently unlikely we would probably leave EU before Sweden. But I'm sure even if Sweden left first we would probably follow quickly if not at the same time. Also what a mess it would be as even if one of us leave the other would still be obliged to uphold the agreement of the nordic union at the same time of the EU union both of which would dictate contradictory border rules. Hell. Even if both of us leave Finland still would have that issue.
@@EUMadeSimple simply because we have historically had a bigger leave group percentage wise than Sweden. And the fact that just a short while before brexit we had nearly 50 percent of the population prefering a nordic union state over the EU union. It has declined slightly on all measures after brexit but it is my opinion it will only be temporary as the things that made us want to leave is still there and people will get back to that position once they realise that the current English economic turmoils only are temporary there will be a new equilibrium and then those against EU meddling will come back to their original position.
@@EUMadeSimple oh and one more point historically Danes and swedes have had a similar position to the EU question so if Sweden position it self to break up it is very likely Denmark follows and vice versa.
Not splitting but more regional governance while in the EU remaining in policy making, because if more of the eastern european countries joining the EU, then i'm afraid Brussels alone will not cut it. But major reforms will have to happen to sustain more countries into the block instead of just Brussels. Its funny tho, the EU was never suppose to expand towards eastern countries and here we are EU expanding towards the east and becoming bigger.
As a dual national living in The Netherlands I cannot see any other EU country wanting to leave the from some its easy to blame the EU when it`s the fault of member EU country's beside who in there right mind would to vote against there own intrest.

Pah! No one leaves. Problems are there to be solved. I hope that we can soon welcome Ukraine and Moldova into the EU. Together with the Western Balkan states, of course!
We should do more about the influx in immigrants espacially since its northern eu countries that sit in the way. In the netherlands our 3rd largest party is islomophobic and anti eu. however they have been excluded from participating in the government for a whole decade.

It’s very unlikely another EU member will leave any time soon. Brexit was a disaster for the UK, so much so that many, if not, all Eurosceptic parties started doubting the idea of leaving the EU and instead have decided to just try to stop the EU from further integration.
There will be a split in the present EU as it has become a club with too many members who are benefiting rather than contributing to the welfare of the union. The countries who will be members of the new EU are the countries such as France, Austria, Italy, Spain and some others who prefer an independent foreign policy rather than following the usa.
If I can give you my two cents, Italy will never leave the European Union. Even if sovreignists are a sizeable part of the electorate (probably 10/20% if not more), they hardly agree on what to do. Sovereigntism is a more of a feeling than anything. A feeling born in 2008 with the sovreign debt crisis where we were forced to embrace austerity, which has shown to be a wrong way in the long run. This translated ina mistrust of the EU, even if it doesn't make sense In the past, during Salvini's golden period, there was more eurosceptic rethoric, that proposed even to leave the euro, but was mostly unofficial. In 2018, during the formation of the Conte I goverment, North League did try to put the economist (Claudio Borghi) that proposed such ideas as Minister of Economy but that started a scandal so they left him out at the end. So it's not politically viable. The current centre-right goverment has lot of anti-EU sentiment and power to implement it, but such rethoric has weakened during the years, becoming a more oppositional and overall hostile behaviour towards the EU but not outright leaving it. Hell, they have hardly proposed officially to leave anything even before... They treat is more as a way to get better results in polls, where they shit on EU by misunderstanding even the basics of the directives (so not laws) that have been passed. So yeah, I agree no one will ever leave the EU for now. The worst they will do is to block EU reforms, like the MES reform. And yeah, the EU should something at this point on migration, but I don't have high hopes there will be any agreement on it. Years have passed and nothing changed...
I was an extreme remainer back on 2016 I think brexit was a mistake, and I think that we should have a closer relationship with the EU. However if there was a referendum on rejoining today I would probably say no, when the EU triggered parts of the NI protocol during the pandemic without asking Ireland first I lost a lot of goodwill.
Hi, Iam indian studying in Germany and I only see this subtitle and iam commenting. My opinion is after seeing crisis in United Kingdom I don't think other EU countries dare to leave Eu. Wish for UK return to Eu
I think my country Slovakia is very likely due to the failure of the current government anti-EU parties are gaining power. If here was a referendum like in Britain people would certainly choose to leave and I am scared of such a possibility.
The uk leaving benefits the uk. We are now trading more than before brexit and the problems of import and export are now sorted. France and spain now want to change some details to benefit their economys. We still have everything we need in the uk except a decent government. The uk has now rejoined the horizon project.
As it seems the simple worst thing that the UK could have done was to leave the EU, despite all the BS that they have said saying things are good and everything is fine. The UK is now feeling that move in their pockets and will continue to do so until either they manage to actually get some meaningful trade partners, or swallow their pride and beg the EU for forgiveness. The UK after all is a non self sustaining island that cannot feed all its inhabitants. The only reason the UK prospered was after it joined the EU's single market in the 70's, it took years for that growth to take place due to the state of the UK at the time, but eventually it did happen. The UK prior to the EU was a sinking ship of poverty and is slowly returning that way following brexit. So for any EU country to want to follow those footsteps, think again. In short everything in the UK is really expensive now and literally no changes in salary to match the ever increasing costs.
As an Italian, Italy leaving the EU can cause many problems to our country for many things. I can't say all of them, but it's very unlikely that Italy will leave the EU anytime soon.
Italy can't leave as it owes too much to the ECB, the only way is if Italy defaults on its loans and that in turn would bring the whole of the EU crashing down. Italy, like a lot of EU member states has been supported through its bad years by Germany and the ECB but with Germany stagnating and poor economic performance will the political will still be there for all member states to continue supporting Italy? Only a couple of years ago the wealthier EU northern member states did not want to fund Italy and Spain through the covid period and had to be offered incentives to provide funding. There is no political Union within the EU only a handful of countries who are not able to leave and those who are net beneficiaries who are happy to take EU money. The wealthier nations are able to get FTA's now in many other global trading blocs so the risk factors within the EU are high. If the US and China kick off you'll see all the cracks opening wide within the EU, Eurosceptic governments currently occupy around 30% of the seats in the European Parliament and if France turns to Le Pen in 2027 this will only grow further.
Also Italy founded the EU with France and Germany.

@@bram6567 yes but one could argue that perhaps you could have free trade without political union, or without freedom of people to immigrate to another country.
As an Austrian: While it's true that EU support in Austria is generally low compared to most other countries, positive opinions have been growing again. In the last Austrian presidential election of 2022, many candidates (including FPÖ's Rosenkranz) proposed to leave the EU, yet the current pro-EU president Alexander Van der Bellen easily won with 56.7%. The only major eurosceptic Austrian party, the FPÖ, has been recently gaining support again in some Austrian states (despite their ties with Russia and the Ibiza scandal), but it still won't be easy for them to leave the EU as long Van der Bellen is still president (as he dislikes their chairman Kickl, who might win the next Austrian legislative election in 2024). In my opinion leaving the EU is a terrible idea as Austria would probably face an even worse economic crisis than Britain. I don't mind Austrian neutrality, but I strongly oppose to leave the EU.
Do you believe elections in Austria are legitimate btw? I mean, is there a likelihood that any stage of the counting process could be rigged?
I am greek btw.
As a fellow Austrian, I can only say... Exactly what you said. Thanks. And to add a bit.. Austria leaving the EU would really be very, very sad... Hopefully our political party with a strong tie to (the wrong parts of) history continues also with old habits of torpedoing itself as done regularly in the past...
@@thomashaidvogl4467 Many Austrians who hate the EU have no idea what consequences it will have. I'm fine with our neutrality, but no, joining the EU did not destroy our neutrality like some Austrians are saying today. Leaving the EU (basically an Öxit) will just cost a lot of money and take years, then Austria will face major economic crisis like Britain. Considering that Austria is a small landlocked country which uses the euro and is almost surrendered by EU countries, it would fare far worse than Britain. Let's hope it will never happen.
I agree with you my friends, Austria should be a part of the EU, but why can't Austria show solidarity and just un-veto us already? Whatever arguments the politicians say they let Croatia join
@@bogdantudor7195 Are you Romanian or Bulgarian? The Schengen situation hasn't changed yet, but I hope it will. It's quite hypocritical to let Croatia in (as it's a very popular holiday place for Austrians), but not Romania and Bulgaria (though the latter also needs the Netherlands' approval). Austria leaving the EU doesn't mean it'll leave the Schengen Area too. The FPÖ winning the next Austrian legislative election in 2024 unfortunately won't change the Schengen situation, but they fortunately won't be successful for an EU exit as long Van der Bellen is till in power.

Fucking based
No other country has the guts to leave, they see it as too much hassle even if they secretly do want out. How the Brits managed to stick to their guns and see it through is commendable. The EU will get much worse as the years go by, with more intrusion into the lives of citizens, and way more rigid laws forced onto every country.
To be honest, after Brexit I don’t think any country in the EU is considering leaving at all. I don’t consider it accurate to even portray these countries as possibly leaving the block.
On the other hand, with the election of more right wing parties around Europe I believe that their goal is instead to make the EU more right wing as a block. For example by implementing stricter immigration policies.
But this is in conflict with what the EU fundamentally stands for. Even national parliaments, like Poland and Hungary, with right wing majorities can't overturn what the EU commisioners have set in stone...the only way you can do that is by total withdrawal from the EU.
@@denecroxford2475 I agree that it's against the EU's principles, but I predict that's what's going to end up happening regardless :(
All of their issues are mainly associated with immigration, as this is a common problem eu should have a comprehensive plan to tackle it.
Yes, it should. The problem is that the issue has become so thorny that getting a proper soluction into place is difficult.
It should embrace borders as the other countries do
I think massive immigration is a feature of EU policy not a bug. This is why they not only fail to address it but chide and threaten countries like Poland when they take matters into their own hands to do so. Its part of their agenda that has nothing to do with the will of the average citizens. The video is correct that many or a growing number are unhappy with the EU and its growth in power, corruption, and growing undemocratic imposition of unpopular edicts. The video is also right that any leaving anytime soon is very unlikely because it would be a bureaucratic nightmare with many disadvantages of trying to function as part of Europe but not part of the EU. And they know they'd face retribution tactics, as the dreadful EU head Von der Leyen said when Italy elected a populist, "we have ways of dealing with them". I think the EU has morphed into a monster but I don't think any more countries in it will leave soon as the cost is too high. The EU economy is about to fall off a cliff though so we'll see what happens.
@@elizaj4431 The EU is struggling to deal with immigration because the memberstates are at odds with each other over how to handle it (some countries have a distinct lack of solidarity in this regard) and the EU has limited means and power to deal with it to begin with. The way memberstates deal with immigrants vary wildly, after all.
"The EU economy is about to fall off a cliff though so we'll see what happens." Got any actual evidence of that? That is not coming from a brexiteer?
@@elizaj4431 absolutely agree
A pro EU right-wing party would dominate the Union.

Italy is definitely among the top 5 net contributors 🇮🇹🇪🇺
At the moment Italy isn't likely to leave the EU. There are a lot of reasons and one of that is that basically no party in the parliament is pro-leave. The most euroskeptical were the League, but now it's pretty neutral and irrelevant, and Brothers of Italy which aligned to EU and NATO despite it had 33% of the votes (or something like that)
It doesn't matter what the political parties think, ultimately it is what Italians think. The mainstream parties are in the pocket of the EU. If they don't deliver what the people want, they will be ousted from power. How popular is the € in Italy? Were Italians given a referendum on their currency or was it just imposed? Just ask yourself fundamental questions. Bentornata alla Lira! 🇮🇹
Love your content! Looking forward to maybe a longer video that takes a deep look into the steps EU has to do if it hopes to turn into a federation. (How the steps would even start and who has the power to do so?)
This is a popular topic . We are looking into it
I highly doubt Italy would leave the EU, they stand to lose far more than the UK is losing, being out of the EU, mainly because Italy has an unstable political and economic system, them being out of the EU wouldn't do them any favours when it comes to investment in the country, especially as having easy access to the EU market is a big advantage.
What we really should remember is that the UK is a special case, they've never had the vision of a united Europe, they joined the EEC whiles more or less lying to its people about what the project is about, a lot of the other EU countries might have issues with how it's run, but none really want to rip the project apart, which is more or less what the UK wanted, any issues other EU members have with the project is more about wanting to change the project, to serve their interest better, this is a massive difference on the UK compared to every other EU country, even Hungary and Poland were they complain, is more about wanting to change the project, not rip it apart.
The truth is, the UK never wanted in the EU in the first place, it's always been a troublesome country and had by far the most op-outs out of any EU country, a common theme with pretty much every other EU country is that they want change and reforms done to the EU, many are not happy with how it's currently run, but that's a long way from wanting to leave the union and hence, we see the same pattern with Eurosceptic parties throughout the EU, they tell the people things like wanting to leave the EU or the Euro, but once in power, they change their tune as reality kicks in, we saw that in Italy over the last few years, only for the current government to tone it down a lot once in power, because if they went thought with what they were saying, it would be them that would get it in the neck once it impacts the people, in that sense, they are smarter than the Conservative party in the UK, or maybe, they saw what was going on in the UK with Brexit and thought, this isn't for us, probably why support has been going up for the EU in every EU country, and ironically, even in the UK.
My point I'm getting at, it's easy for the party that's not in power to say they'll do this and that for the people, it's another thing delivering on that, hence why opposition parties promise more than they can deliver, and if they win power, they tone it down as reality kicks in.
We agree with you completely. Italy is very unlikely. So are all the other 26 Member States. This video was more along the lines of: If we HAD to choose 3 countries leaving the EU - who would they be :)

Europe is dying and its leaders seem not to be able to understand the nature of the problems occuring and the bureaucracy only makes things worse. Leaving the EU is not something that would solve all problems member states are facing but insisting on staying in the EU no matter what is not healthy either. In other words, the options we are facing are not black or white.
Poland seems currently out of love with the EU. Certainly the UK's success in leaving and continuing to attract investment will be seen as a possible green light.
Im born and raised in vienna Austria, and though i despise the FPÖ i am absolutely not surprised that theyre very popular, in my district it is actually so rare to hear people chat in german on the streets that i actually get surprised by it sometimes.
Also alot of immigrants have formed their own communities whether its turks arabs, ex-yugos etc etc
If these people left the county Austria would be in a stand still … guess u lot will always be as ignorant n xenophobic… well u had concentration camps for people in both world wars … only cure for u is the imminent demographic change that is inevitably going to happen sooner then u may think :)
Europe needs to learn how to assimilate its immigrant population better like the USA.
For example, there is mass immigration to the USA from Latin America, China and India, but they don’t pose a threat to American culture, way of life, politics etc.
Uk was always the odd ‘man’ out in the EU and it’s particular unique circumstances made membership a very complicated issue. I can’t see any of the remaining members leaving as on balance I can’t think of another country where it’s even a close call. The UK economy is setup differently than our continental neighbors, we also never joined Schengen and we had our own currency amongst many other things (not least of which, uk never wanted foreign policy conducted by Brussels) . Uk looked at eu as more of a trade issue whereas many on the continent see it just as much as a political union to prevent another ww2 style situation.
Even for uk, I would have voted remain back in 2016 but now I’d vote leave if the vote was held in the current situation. I can make a case for membership and I can make a case for leaving- to be honest, it will almost certainly be better for the eu to have the uk out as more current eu citizens want an ever closer union and the uk would have stood in the way of that. I do think the uk leaving has shifted the balance a little and new coalitions are being formed, Germany has been much more assertive and comfortable being seen as the dominant power recently and the frugal four have likewise been more upfront about what they are willing to accept (I think the uk used to be a useful shield for some expensive ideas for those countries as they didn’t need to be the ones annoying their neighbors if uk was holding an idea back anyway). France likes grand ideas and positioning their president as if he speaks for entire eu. Regardless it’ll all shake out in the end, I don’t foresee any other eu members leaving, I think some of the ideas the true believers want like an integrated military are also unlikely but a union of a United States of Europe isn’t out of the question with powerful member states and if that’s what the citizens choose then good for them. I think it gets lost a lot, that Brexit was the democratic will of a country - you can argue about which side exaggerated more or which region voted or how many citizens didn’t vote but that’s true of every election and the result is the result (if you start only respecting democracy when your side wins then you end up in a US republicans situation).
thanks for the interesting comment. I agree with you that the UK was a more "difficult' member. But nonethless, I was sad to see them leave. I think the UK was a great counter balance towards France and Germany and I think the EU (and Europe) was stronger with UK part of the Union.
Since we joined the euro, Italy hasn't grown economically anymore, and I find it unbearable to take orders from the French and Germans, It's not what the fathers of the country wanted in 1860, Get away from this gang of bankers who hate Italy
I think most of us do not even consider a WW2 situation even remotely possible, with or without the EU. What the EU actually did on the continent is to just get things done nobody ever expected to be possible, f.e. Schengen. Who would have predicted that there won't be a border between France and Germany. But today Switzerland is part of Schengen. We all know how much neighbors love and appreciate each other. And no surprise, Europeans share one sport, bickering with each other. And still, despite this attitude and veto powers, the EU gets stuff done. Highly experimental stuff that would be unthinkable not only in the USA, but also in each member country individually.
Systematically, the EU is not really very democratic. But still, EU regulations are often so much more reflecting the opinion of the people around Europe, much more so than local governments who are structurally more democratic. The EU is not pursuing its global interests with military power and mostly operates through market regulation. Still it has more regulative impact than the USA and while the EU can not manhandle the rest of the world as ruthlessly as the USA, it seems to promote reason, something I at least appreciate a lot.

In opposit to Salvini, who is strong Russia oriented, Meloni is expressively pro EU. And she claims to do constructive work for EU. That the current EU reality as migration magnet, espacially because the left goverment in Germany, gives nations like Italy a very high charge of problems. And Meloni has right, that a lot of EU principles an targets stand on questions. A lot must change !! Australia stopped (uncontrolled) migration completely. The Germany dominated EU policy stands for high migration and economical and industrial decay of Germany and entire EU space. Meloni attempts to change something in the EU. And she is right. Germany forbits nuclear power, whereas entire Europe builds new nuclear power stations. Germany was most reluctant to support Ukraine in their wish to change from Sowjet Union into (west) European Union. Although Germany pays still the highes EU contributions, it will lose this ability because of economical crashing Germany by wrong politics. And nowaday new EU/NATO member like Finland brings a new kind of pragmatism into Europes way of thinking. Moreover most EU members and their citizen realize, that isolated european nations are an complete NULL on international stage. This international stage is ruled from USA and China. Russia makes a lot of trouble and has still friends in middle Asia (India etc.). But it feels not as an strong global player like nowadays China. Most Europeans know, that even an united "Great Europe" is still an much weaker Player than the USA or China. And the English people are not so convinced, that Brexit was a good solution.
right after taking office in brussels proves that.
I have to defend a lot of what you criticize about Germany, the biggest mistake of German industry is the industry, the USA makes most of its money with service companies such as UA-cam, Meta, Apple and Microsoft. Oh and the migration of industry and know-how to China, especially the solar industry.

@@Lilo-of-Rivia The USA is intelligent enough to realize companys like Microsoft, Google, Disney etc.. The Europeans are to dull for such an activity. But in production industries Europe was long relatively strong. But this changed after 2000, when China becomes finally the factory of the world. Most european nations have perhaps 10 % GDP from industry. Germany holded long time over 20 % GDP from industry. But now Germanys industry becomes crashed too. The USA currently start to reindustrialize the USA. They build new domestic Chips factories etc.. In Europe it is also discussed about it. But in reality the industrial crash of Germany and other european nations continue with full speed. The left parties want to stop the exploitation of factory workers. And they do it by destroying factories. Is this a good idea ?
@wolfgangritter
Well said. I see that kind of future for Europe, too. Only together we will be strong, each and every country as members of the EU.
There are very serious problems waiting for the younger people, like the climate change. Let's give the youth as good start as possible. Much love to everybody from Finland.

I actually checked the source they linked in the description but I found different data from the ones shown in the video. For example Slovakia is actually a net beneficiary whereas Italy is a net contributor
immigration is not the only reason, the people is also starting to lose its confidence after the Qatargate scandal
The first nation to leave the EU/EC was Greenland
Great video. It's interesting how things have changed. I remember in 2016 it was a really big possibility for many. Now we talked about it like a fringe scenario, not at all realistic. It's something to celebrate, but of course not a reason to ignore the problems and assume that everything will always go well. You are very right on the migration point.
Yes. The EU seems to be the big scapegoat when it comes to Immigration.
@@EUMadeSimple since leaving the EU britians migrant crisis has become worse how does leaving the EU help other nations 🤔
its many times more likely that the UK will rejoin the EU (united or not) than any otger country leaving, no european country is capabile to politically relevant alone in todays landscape
Let's be honest, rejoining is the only way to save the country, otherwise Scotland will eventually hold a referendum and it will not be in favour of the UK.
@Random Dude N. Ireland as well, probably
Uk will probably never rejoin the EU
Honestly I can only see n.ireland uniting with ireland
And Scotland joining independently
England would reject rejoining eu and Wales also wouldn't rejoin the EU
Honestly Brits should've accepted Schengen and Euro
With the Euro currency the uk would be a lot stronger
None of them will.
We need to find new ways of working together, but not split apart.
The EU doesn’t try to work together. It criticises countries’ leaders and enforces laws on us. Also it does nothing about immigration.
Austria = Russia’s slaves
Romanians and Bulgarians : Austria, Austria, Austria!
Anybody with a functional brain: Boot Bulgaria
@@billocoy9811 Ah yes, boot a somewhat struggling member who has basically agreed on all matters with the EU and keeps many refugees at bay. You're so delusional. Atleast Bulgaria hasn't been as annoying as Hungary or Austria in passing legislations.
@@sevenoxia7199 Bulgaria is not just a 'somewhat struggling member', but a highly problematic member that is out of place in the EU. A country that even the Soviet Union rejected. I country that had to settle to be the closest Soviet satellite instead of a Soviet Republic. A poor, corrupt and politically unstable country with many politicians that are under the control of Russia. A country with a president that stated that Crimea is Russian. A country that has failed to elect a government after 5 elections in a row. A country with many irredentist politicians that claim Macedonia's territory and are constantly interfering in Macedonia's internal affairs.
@@billocoy9811 Bulgaria never wished to be part of the Soviet Union, and the communist government was forced upon them. Bulgaria isn't poor, it's not well off, but certainly not poor. Bulgaria isn't an outlier in the corruption sphere (even your beloved Italy or Romania are just as, if not, more corrupt than Bulgaria), Bulgaria is once again not an outlier in Russian controlled politicians (France has many which support Russia), and unlike Hungary, Bulgaria imposed sanctions against Russia and announced full support to Ukraine, and even if SOME politicians claim NORTH Macedonian territory, most don't for the sake of benefit. Bulgaria is no worse than Romania or even Greece or Hungary in the current EU Sphere and Austria hasn't been a very open minded country AT ALL. Stop trying to support the right-wing Austrian idiots when most Austrians themselves even consider the right wing politicians a joke.
@@sevenoxia7199 I didn't mention a word about Austria, you seem to be imagining things. Bulgaria requested to become a Soviet Republic but that request was denied by the Soviet Union. Bulgaria is the poorest and most corrupt member of the EU. Don't try to compare Bulgaria to Italy, your embarrassing yourself. Romania is more advanced than Bulgaria. You admit that some Bulgarian politicians claim Macedonia's territory. That is enough for Bulgaria to be immediately booted out the EU. Don't try to defend the indefensible. Things are so good in Bulgaria that you appeared to have run away to Australia.
Neither country is a beneficiary of the EU
.. it's stupid to say that
Brexit was only messy because the Government that promised it were half remainers if they weren't brexit would have been a smooth process. Italy are only 66% in favour nowadays because they realise that even though their EU membership has not saved their country economically it is also true to say that Italy would have failed a lot quicker without it. Basically the ECB has been saving Italy for years by throwing money at it, inevitably though it will fail with or without them. But agreed, not being in the Euro makes leaving a lot simpler, the second and third largest economies of the EU are broke and the Largest, Germany is going downhill fast.
As an Italian,I want to leave UE,because their political is totale uncorrect
EU is a problem for Italy
Same here, from Sweden. I want a United Europe, but the EU is corrupt. The EU will not unite Europe, it will destroy us.
No
It seems to me that in the 00:34 mark you made a missmatch between Ireland and Italy.
Could Spain become a net contributor like Italy in the coming years?
Yes, very likely.
Poland/chechia/the baltics too
Wait Italy is a net contributor?
@@phoenyan2087 yeah usually 3th or 4th
@@phoenyan2087 I still don't get why sometimes pepole get surprised by this fact 😅 Italy as a founding member of the EU has always been among the top 5 net contributors. Let me remind you that it's the 3rd economy in the EU and the 7th on a world level 🇮🇹♥️🇪🇺
The level of ignorance necessary to leave the EEU, can only be found in England.
Not now with war in Europe. Countries rather want to join then leave EU. However reforming its rules and treaties is very likely...
Net beneficiary is a bit too simplified. Those countries are dependent on the EU because of labor. Young educated workers leave those countries after attending vocational schools and universities. Thus their individial countries already sunk money into them. Those young workers will go to other countries and pay their taxes to those. Their birth countries lose workforce and do not gain from those that leave. Meanwhile foreign companies set foot in the countries that can easily outcompete their competition, then take their profits back to their home.
Poland or Hungary please
As a Brit, do not do it.
Italy is so much in dept without the eu they would completly destroy their economy
Hungary would collapse without the EU. 😂
Basically, if the EU had handled the immigration issue properly from the start, not only would there be fewer calls for member states to leave, but maybe even Brexit wouldn't've happened at all...
The Ursula and Borrell's EU is killing the very spirit of Europe. It seems the project didn't work
When institutions fail, they often fail in unexpected ways and very fast. I joined the Royal Navy in 1985. No one had any idea that the USSR would collapse in 6 years. If countries do leave the EU, they will leave en masse either due to a massive wave of uncontrolled immigration, the collapse of the Euro or because the G7 decides to stop supporting Ukraine and the Baltic States decide they need their own nuclear deterrent.
@@petertimmermans8425 Why did the French and the Germans move so fast to stop Greece's public spending? Because Greece's debt levels were seen as unsustainable and a danger to the Euro's stability. Italy has a lot more debt than Greece, Spain is also massively in debt. If Italy or Spain defaults, the Euro could collapse. All 3 Baltic states use the Euro. What would a Russian attack on these countries do to the Euro? I am neither anti or pro EU, but I do see risks......
Where does the money come from that the EU "support" members with?😢
I hate clickbait titles. It denigrates the channel's good content. Shame.
Ireland has been a net contributor since 2013.
Both in Poland and Hungary it is the rather right wing, nationalistic/conservative parties in government that are acting out, but the populations of both countries are by a large measure in favor of EU membership.
Italy has an immigration issue that europe is admittedly struggling to help it cope with. But leaving the EU would leave the Italian economy up a creek without a paddle and a leaking boat.
Sweden is not a realisitc option either. They even want to join NATO now.
Austria like Italy has an immigration issue, but leaving the EU would at the moment leave it surrounded by EU members, aside from Suisse which has close ties to the EU in many ways.
As is pointed out there is a difference between euro-sceptics and anti-EU membership. The rise of these parties may well force the EU to act in certain areas that need adressing, like immigration.
Italy was used to ferrying "refugees" from the African coast home to Italy and then help them move up to Northern Europe. It still does that, unfortunately, but we have become much better at resisting the Italian Importees so now Italy (finally!) has to foot more of the bill itself. That is a good thing. A very, very good thing.
Perhaps Italy should just stop ferrying migrants from the African coast to Europe? Oh, the Italian judiciary won't permit that? Perhaps Italy should get better judges... this is not a problem that the EU can solve for Italy.
@@peterfireflylund "Perhaps Italy should just stop ferrying migrants from the African coast to Europe?" It doesn't 'ferry' them. Some arrive on the shore by boat (if they don't sinkm and drown along the way) others are picked up from boats, sometimes already sinking, by coast-guard or NGO's. How this 'encourages' others to risk their lives in this way (for a hefty price-tag) is a matter of debate.
Correct, Hungary will not leave, it will be kicked out.
Poland's been in EU for 19 years.
Today is 19th anniversary
The problem is immigration of people who do not want to adopt to European cultures and traditions. Hungary and Poland were right after all.
I hope it will be Italy (I'm italian)
As an american I'm aware what happened to Britain economy after they left the EU and look what happened even today their still in hot water right now Any more countries leaving the EU is a really bad idea. People should litterly learn what just happened to the UK sense after many EU countries saw what happened after one of their own left and they paid the price, pretty sure now mostly none of the others wanna end up like they did!
I don't understand why leaving the EU is so tied with immigration concerns. If anything, leaving the EU actually made it harder for the UK to control its borders.
It didn’t make it harder, it made it easier, but that doesnt mean much when their politicians don’t do anything about it. They left the EU so they didn’t have to follow their laws, but they kept following them anyway. They could refuse to take in immigrants but don’t.
Turkey enters BRICS. Hungary too in 2-3 years. In 10 years, only Germany will still be a member of the EU, with von der Leyen in the presidency.
Long story short - UK what have you done, no one wants to follow in your steps, actually you made skeptics like EU more
We keep hearing the catchcry "European Values", but what exactly are they, if you can please explain? I mean, did the EU apply Europeans values when they bailed-out the banks, the wealthy minority and enforced debt and austerity, a sharp decline in living standards on the masses? I'm not trying to be facetious and genuinely want to know and be disproven about my criticisms too, so please let us know.
Sweden has become less likely to leave after Brexit, the two only parties in the parliament that wanted to leave (The Left + Swedish Democrats) abolished that policy and now want to focus on electing their representatives to the EU parliament and reform it instead.
Though, i have many opinions in my country, France. Already 2 parties sans that we should leave the Union, thé People also wants to get out.
It won't be geographical countries that leave the EU but functional activities. Imagine that a hypothetical 'widget' industry operates across the collective west (i.e. Anglosphere, EU, Japan etc) and in the wider world. It interacts globally and in real-time via the internet. Why would the 'widget' industry want a uniquely European regulatory framework? This is going to be especially true if the EU regulation is time consuming, bureaucratic, expensive and, in truth, obviously protectionist or designed to promote the EU's underpinning philosophies
I think the more accurate question is which countries would block closer integration or opt out of closer integration if given the option of a tiered approach. My prediction to that question would be VERY MANY.
Very interesting comment. This will go on the list and indeed, I think it is a better questions too. Anyone leaving the Union now is extremely unlikely
Hm, like, another nation exeting after the results of an exit ware shown? Unlikely.
As an Italian i preatty much know that it is the EU that is doing more for us youth than our own government, and this is slowly getting a foot to the even older generation, if nothing happens in the next future, then in 20 years i can preatty much see a more integrated and Eurofriedly Italy.
Italy will fall apart if they decide to leave the EU. Especually the north of Italy will wanna stay in the EU.
Hungary is not anti EU. It has a populist leader as Orbán. But its more complex than that. Populism is not an ideology while a federal EU, multiculturalism and western apologist sentaments, woke culture are in contrary ideological. Hungarians dont like these, not because of conservatism, rather that there is nothing they can align with. Its like adopting current policies in the 70s west.
Both Austria and Sweden have joined only relatively recently in 1995, maybe there is also less of a tradition of being an EU member.
I still think that Hungary is the most likely candidate for leaving, even though also for them it is not very likely.
I don't agree that we should exclude net beneficiaries of EU funds just because them leaving doesn't make financial sense. As we have seen with Brexit, popular sentiment is often not sensible. :)
Another notion is the term of "net beneficiary" - Western companies are making billions in the new member states, and are taking back a healthy profit to their home countries. That is money that is missing in those countries. Case in point, none of the supermarket chains or the larger banks in Czechia are actually Czech.
To be honest, the biggest takeaway for me was that Czechia and Slovakia are now net contributors, and Italy and Spain are not? What? I'm glad this is not mentioned widely in Czech media somehow, because otherwise my most likely candidate would be precisely Czechia.
So what is the difference between Eurosceptic and Anti-EU then?????
As a Briton, it really seems like if any nation was going to leave (or bring the EU to the breaking point) it would be France. They alone have the geopolitical clout left to go it alone (the UK was the only other member state with that kind of influence, although these days it seems it was more of an illusion). But it might be more in the interest of potentially eurosceptic french politicians to try and co-opt the EU for purposes of French hegemony, using their overseas influence as a tool to that end, rather than outright leaving as the UK did (especially with how that particular endeavour has fared). But honestly I don't think any country is likely to leave anytime soon, unless at some point the whole Union collapses. Even if France tries asserting some sort of hegemony I doubt it will work very well and will likely be challenged by other members, and I don't expect France to be likely to fall into the kind of "illiberal regime" that has taken hold in some of the eastern states, at least not for an extended period of time. With any luck the EU will be enlarging soon, there is some merit to Macron's argument on "centralisation before enlargement" but personally I am of the opinion that there are so few remaining non-EU european states, that we might as well enlarge so as to reduce future complication. The Western Balkans and the "Ruthenian States" are really the only last regions that need to be brought into the fold. Integration of The Caucasus is not desirable under current conditions. Turkey is desirable but not practicable for the next decade or so. Russia is somewhat desirable, but completely impossible. Even if the Putin Regime fell, the Russian population would still be hostile to joining, and most europeans would despise them (they're also a good boogeyman for european unity). Eventually Russia will try to join, perhaps we will even accommodate them, but it will take several decades, perhaps even the collapse of the Russian Federation, though hopefully not.
The UK needs a shit ton of internal reform before rejoining. The UK is essentially undergoing a revolution, though due to the influence of modern society it has not devolved to violence (yet?). The british political system has remained for centuries, albeit reformed periodically to better represent the times. It seems that in recent years the "social character" of the british has changed dramatically, exemplified by the brexit vote being so divisive (something that wouldn't've happened 50 years ago). This "social revolution" has pretty much broken the political system, which just doesn't work with this new kind of population. Extensive reform will be needed, and if it isn't realised (which largely depends on the competence of the incoming Labour government, something I'm unsure of) then I fully expect outright revolution of some form within the next 10 years. Eventually though, the UK will probably rejoin the EU or some version of the EU if it still exists. It might be as 2 or 3 separate countries, it might be as a republic or a reformed monarchy, I honestly have no idea, but it will probably happen, it is a fate that is far more aligned with the interests of the coming majority culture than it is with that of the old culture which ripped us away from the continent.
As a Dane I feel that while it is currently unlikely we would probably leave EU before Sweden. But I'm sure even if Sweden left first we would probably follow quickly if not at the same time. Also what a mess it would be as even if one of us leave the other would still be obliged to uphold the agreement of the nordic union at the same time of the EU union both of which would dictate contradictory border rules. Hell. Even if both of us leave Finland still would have that issue.
Why do you see Denmark leaving before Sweden?
@@EUMadeSimple simply because we have historically had a bigger leave group percentage wise than Sweden. And the fact that just a short while before brexit we had nearly 50 percent of the population prefering a nordic union state over the EU union. It has declined slightly on all measures after brexit but it is my opinion it will only be temporary as the things that made us want to leave is still there and people will get back to that position once they realise that the current English economic turmoils only are temporary there will be a new equilibrium and then those against EU meddling will come back to their original position.
@@EUMadeSimple oh and one more point historically Danes and swedes have had a similar position to the EU question so if Sweden position it self to break up it is very likely Denmark follows and vice versa.
Has anyone been to Germany lately. Things are not great.
Ireland is suffering too from a lake of housing and manpower shortages as is Germany!
I see EU eventually splitting between East and West.
Not splitting but more regional governance while in the EU remaining in policy making, because if more of the eastern european countries joining the EU, then i'm afraid Brussels alone will not cut it.
But major reforms will have to happen to sustain more countries into the block instead of just Brussels.
Its funny tho, the EU was never suppose to expand towards eastern countries and here we are EU expanding towards the east and becoming bigger.
As a dual national living in The Netherlands I cannot see any other EU country wanting to leave the from some its easy to blame the EU when it`s the fault of member EU country's beside who in there right mind would to vote against there own intrest. If I live long enough I may see the day Britain is back in EU parliament, but Scotland could be back before, the rest of Britain. Pepole have to remember why EU was established in after world war 2. If Britain PR voting system Brexiit probably would not have happened, until implements PR and Tory government realise that Brexit has failed. 2024 use your vote.
Pah! No one leaves. Problems are there to be solved. I hope that we can soon welcome Ukraine and Moldova into the EU. Together with the Western Balkan states, of course!
No country will leave the EU , more than this, after independence Scotland will join the EU !
We should do more about the influx in immigrants espacially since its northern eu countries that sit in the way. In the netherlands our 3rd largest party is islomophobic and anti eu. however they have been excluded from participating in the government for a whole decade. Making a lot of dutch feeling like the government lets them down
It’s very unlikely another EU member will leave any time soon. Brexit was a disaster for the UK, so much so that many, if not, all Eurosceptic parties started doubting the idea of leaving the EU and instead have decided to just try to stop the EU from further integration.
Brexit was never a disaster because brexit was never delivered the Tories sold us down the river
Oh, please let it be Hungary..
As an Italian, leaving the EU would be horrible to Italy! I hope they never gets to this point 🙏🏼
There will be a split in the present EU as it has become a club with too many members who are benefiting rather than contributing to the welfare of the union. The countries who will be members of the new EU are the countries such as France, Austria, Italy, Spain and some others who prefer an independent foreign policy rather than following the usa.
If I can give you my two cents, Italy will never leave the European Union.
Even if sovreignists are a sizeable part of the electorate (probably 10/20% if not more), they hardly agree on what to do.
Sovereigntism is a more of a feeling than anything.
A feeling born in 2008 with the sovreign debt crisis where we were forced to embrace austerity, which has shown to be a wrong way in the long run. This translated ina mistrust of the EU, even if it doesn't make sense
In the past, during Salvini's golden period, there was more eurosceptic rethoric, that proposed even to leave the euro, but was mostly unofficial.
In 2018, during the formation of the Conte I goverment, North League did try to put the economist (Claudio Borghi) that proposed such ideas as Minister of Economy but that started a scandal so they left him out at the end. So it's not politically viable.
The current centre-right goverment has lot of anti-EU sentiment and power to implement it, but such rethoric has weakened during the years, becoming a more oppositional and overall hostile behaviour towards the EU but not outright leaving it. Hell, they have hardly proposed officially to leave anything even before...
They treat is more as a way to get better results in polls, where they shit on EU by misunderstanding even the basics of the directives (so not laws) that have been passed.
So yeah, I agree no one will ever leave the EU for now. The worst they will do is to block EU reforms, like the MES reform.
And yeah, the EU should something at this point on migration, but I don't have high hopes there will be any agreement on it.
Years have passed and nothing changed...

Who else will pay for Italy's debts if they are going to leave?
I was an extreme remainer back on 2016 I think brexit was a mistake, and I think that we should have a closer relationship with the EU. However if there was a referendum on rejoining today I would probably say no, when the EU triggered parts of the NI protocol during the pandemic without asking Ireland first I lost a lot of goodwill.
Hi, Iam indian studying in Germany and I only see this subtitle and iam commenting. My opinion is after seeing crisis in United Kingdom I don't think other EU countries dare to leave Eu. Wish for UK return to Eu

The Net contributor chart is SO wrong.. Also, support for the EU here in Italy never went below 60%...
Damn france is really not pulling its weight. Germany pays douple into the eu!
I think my country Slovakia is very likely due to the failure of the current government anti-EU parties are gaining power. If here was a referendum like in Britain people would certainly choose to leave and I am scared of such a possibility.
The uk leaving benefits the uk. We are now trading more than before brexit and the problems of import and export are now sorted. France and spain now want to change some details to benefit their economys. We still have everything we need in the uk except a decent government. The uk has now rejoined the horizon project.
cope jerry
They will all leave at once when the EU finally admits it's bankrupt.
i don’t believe that any more countries will leave the european union.
No 1 will leave EU but british will join to
As it seems the simple worst thing that the UK could have done was to leave the EU, despite all the BS that they have said saying things are good and everything is fine. The UK is now feeling that move in their pockets and will continue to do so until either they manage to actually get some meaningful trade partners, or swallow their pride and beg the EU for forgiveness. The UK after all is a non self sustaining island that cannot feed all its inhabitants. The only reason the UK prospered was after it joined the EU's single market in the 70's, it took years for that growth to take place due to the state of the UK at the time, but eventually it did happen. The UK prior to the EU was a sinking ship of poverty and is slowly returning that way following brexit. So for any EU country to want to follow those footsteps, think again. In short everything in the UK is really expensive now and literally no changes in salary to match the ever increasing costs.
Like Brexit worked so fucking well... everyone is running to repeat their mistake.
