Guy Verhofstadt, who is also the parliament’s Brexit spokesman and leads its largest liberal bloc, said there was “no place” in the European Union (EU) for nations who elected right-wing governments to create “illiberal societies”.

Ireland could have saved herself if she had left 20 years ago but she didn't.And now she's lost.

Eastern European nations still have a chance for redemption...a chance to save their national pride and heritage.

The EU is a joke on Europe, truth be told. A very bad and not at all funny joke. I thought that it was a very bad idea at the beginning.

The 13 independent States, countries is many respects, deliberately and reluctantly banded together and created the Federal government with the signing of a relatively short legal document. That document severely limited what the new fedgov could do. Even with those pretty severe restrictions, spelled out in plain english, the fedgov, like a cancer, grew and grew, and slowly took over the body.

That’s what organizations do. Their main purpose is to grow and perpetuate the organism...oops, organization.

Form an alliance with the U.K. The reemergence of a hitler/Stalin mindset is not good for Europe.

Poland: “Or what?”

I don’t think the EU has provisions to eject members.

Isn’t this the same rationale used in Communist countries to only allow their party to run?

> accept liberal values or leave the bloc

You can’t ask for a better offer than that. Leave.
