Even European voters want less Europe,’ writes Mark Littlewood
Even the most hardened Remainer must acknowledge one benefit of our exit from the European Union. With elections right across England last Thursday and a general election later this year, we will at least be spared having to go to the polls on June 6 for the EU Parliamentary elections.

The EU will never be rid of national identity in Europe much to its sadness, and ironically breeds far more scepticism than it would like. |

German companies take stand against populism ahead of EUSSR vote..... They are launching a corresponding campaign on social media and are organizing events, the alliance announced on Tuesday. The companies are convinced "that exclusion, hatred and isolation are not compatible with our values and jeopardize entrepreneurial freedom and the prosperity of each individual." They want to counter this with a society "without hatred, division, marginalization and racism." The list of participants includes multinational companies such as Bosch, Mercedes, Bayer, Deutsche Bahn, RWE and Deutsche Bank. The German Trade Union Confederation and the Federation of German Industries are also involved. "Our alliance stands for respect, tolerance, openness and diversity. Extremists and racists question these values and at the same time offer seemingly simple solutions to the complex problems of our time," said Siemens chief executive Roland Busch........

If we hadn't had the 2016 referendum, we'd have had ever more Euroskeptic MEPs and we'd have left at some point anyway. |

And even if they do survive the left would never give us the option. |

The more Eurosceptic voters in the EU become, the more hardline and authoritarian the EU and Europhiles will be. Pro EU German elites have already floated the idea of banning AfD who in 2017 won 94 seats in the German federal election and became the third-largest party in the country. Yet the pro EU German establishment want AfD, a democratically elected party, banned. Sieg Heil.

If the EU were to repatriate powers back to national parliaments de-politicise itself and become a trade only organisation, that would be great.

It seems the EUSSR are coming apart at the seams. And even if they do survive the left would never give us the option. Unfortunately not . While we were in the EU we saw the rise of eurosceptics and votes for UKIP . Now having 'left ' people have gone back into supporting the traditional europhile parties . I believe had Cameron not called a referendum we could well have had a proper anti EU government maybe within another two or three governments So we would be looking at 2030 at the latest and we could have had a proper Brexit . Having one under the europhilliacs of Westminster will take that long and beyond anyway |

In some form or another yes . Immigration and how the EU deal with it will be the key . We see some countries saying no and others saying no more . The politicos though say we need it for our economies to function . Maybe we need a different system that doesn't involve ever growing populations but one things for sure is that it can't carry on as it is , destroying itself will be the easy bit ,what comes after will be the nightmare . |

Germany just changed its voting rules because leaders are terrified of rise of right wing parties......... It's an absolute 22 karat diamond encrusted certainty that Labour will do the same. Allowing impressionable inexperienced children to vote will significantly benefit Labour, who knew. 100 years ago the Nazi party effectively banned opposition, which is exactly what German elites are doing now. As Winston Churchill rightly said, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” You would have thought the Germans had learnt their lesson by now. Sadly, it seems not. |

Europeans want governments to focus more on curbing migration than climate change...... Europeans wants their governments to focus more on curbing immigration than climate change. Globally, 33% believe climate change is one of the world’s three main challenges, but only 14% say fighting it should be among the top three priorities for their government. Germans were in the lead, with 44% wanting their government to focus on reducing immigration, while nearly a quarter surveyed said fighting climate change was a priority.....
