We are not alone in the UK.

The majority of Italian voters had supported Eurosceptic candidates in the national election.

Now the President must decide which of the two Eurosceptic parties will form the government.

So, will Italy be the next EU member state to want a referendum on EU membership?

It's worrying news for Brussels and the EU.

The ‘traffic’ was always going to be one way.

"The EU is not as popular in many countries now, due mainly to the free movement of people, especially from Eastern Europe."

Yes, I believe those poor countries (mainly from Eastern Europe) who receive most EU funding are happiest with the EU. The ones contributing the most are not so enamoured. Strange that. hmm

Son was working in France recently and said anti-EU feeling just outside Paris was very strong. In one town the EU flag was being replaced in the town centre as locals had ripped it down. When workmen came to replace it they were booed.

Where is the love for the EU? I think our own Remainers are its biggest fans.
