From The American Interest's "Seven In The Morning" dispatch: A new Opinium poll asked Europeans from various countries to choose a statement that best described their view of the EU. The UK, France, and Germany saw only 14, 24, and 30 percent, respectively, vote for a statement favoring “ever closer union." Favorable responses, however, were much higher in the south of the continent, with Italy coming in at 47 percent and Spain at 56 percent. These results underline a dynamic that has been slowly emerging as Brussels has fudged its way through successive crises: The leading powers increasingly seem to regret their tight coupling with Mediterranean countries they see as profligate and irresponsible, while citizens of the southern countries appear to have little appetite for breaking away. |
