Kirkland, surely you have seen the new mayor of Rome?



I mean she's no Marion Le Pen, but still she's quite the looker
Depending on the survey France is somewhere between six and ten percent Muslim. And at least half of them have probably integrated reasonably well. So not really on the brink. If France had a significant Muslim minority there's no way Le Pen could get elected, never mind win a referendum.


There's not going to be a civil war anywhere in Europe. None of our countries are chock full of heavily armed paranoid idiots thankfully.

Italy is well and truly fucked economically. They're facing a massive banking crisis. When we voted out their stock market declined by 20%, over twice our drop. They have the Five Star movement that has just won a couple of local elections and may do well in the next general election but whoever is in power in a few years will be forced into some major action by the ongoing economic disaster over there.

We had a choice in this. Countries like Italy and Spain eventually won't have a choice. We should have just sat tight and left it to them and avoided any economic problems due to leaving. On the other hand no more integration, we can vote our governments out if we don't like them, it's a step away from globalism and back to nation states, there's a lot to like.
