POLITICIANS across Europe have called for their own referendums in the wake of Britain's historic decision to quit the EU.
Italys anti-establishment 5-Star movement has now officially called for a referendum on whether to keep the Euro.
Buoyed by big gains in local elections, Luigi Di Maio, a vice president of the lower house of parliament, said: "We want a consultative referendum on the Euro.
The Euro as it is today does not work. We either have alternative currencies or a 'Euro 2.
The 5-Star movement has called for two different currencies in Europe, one for the rich northern countries another for southern nations.
While any such referendums on the EU or the Euro would be merely test public opinion because Italian law does not allow referendums to change international treaties, a victory would send a clear signal to the government, especially in the wake of Brexit.
Brexit is a huge blow to Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party and was hailed by supporters of 5-Star as a possible springboard to Italian independence.
In France, National Front party leader Marine Le Pen promised voters their own referendum as she declared her support for Brexit.
She said: I would have voted for Brexit. France has a thousand more reasons to leave than the UK because we have the euro and Schengen.
"This result shows the EU is decaying, there are cracks everywhere.
Experts across the continent warned today that Brexit would lead to the entire break-up of Europe.
The leader of the far-right Danish Peoples Party says Denmark should now follow Britains lead and hold a referendum on its membership.
Party leader Kristian Thulesen Dahls said if the Danish parliament cannot agree on reforms with the EU a referendum could give Denmark a new opportunity.
He said: If a majority in parliament for some reason will not be involved in this, why not ask the Danes in a referendum decide the case?
If Denmark goes ahead, Irene Wennemo, state secretary to SWEDEN'S minister for employment, said the anti-EU sentiment could spread through Scandinavia and raise the possibility of a vote in Sweden.
Eurosceptic feeling is also surging in the Netherlands, with two-thirds of voters rejecting a Ukraine-EU treaty on closer political and economic ties.
Anti-EU politician Geert Wilders declared the result the beginning of the end for the Dutch government and the EU.
Many of us lost lots of money (on paper today) but it was worth it.
Hopefully the EU will fall like a sand castle.
Last one out gets stuck with the socialism failure bill!!!!
I’m just waiting for Obexit in January 2017.
Amen to that!
Woo hoo!
>>Im just waiting for Obexit in January 2017<<
Let’s hope for a hagxit in 2016 — from politics for good!
If the GOP had any balls we could have had Obexit before 2012.
The end game here is that all the banksters are going to have to eat all their bad debt instruments they have been foisting on the world as a tool for power and control.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people. /S
“Give us stuff Herr German!”
Heck, Germany has enough immigrants that it doesn’t need the rest of the EU to work for it anymore... Merkel you magnificent bastard!
This is a domino game of bonfires just waiting to be lit. Great Britain threw the first firery match yesterday. The other houses of cards are already tilting, near to falling down.
Someone had to stand up to the Bully that was the Belgian EU.
#Brexit. UK out of the EU.
#Mexit. Mexico out of the US.
#ISexit. Islam out of the US.
#UNexit. UN globalists back to where THEY came from.
#Texit can wait.
Last one to leave has to pay for all the parasites!!!!
