So much corruption and self-interest at the top levels of the EU governing body that it is collapsing.
Sort of like the Republican Party.
Governments become instruments of corruption. Bigger governments become bigger instruments of bigger corruption.
For example, many government programs are so big that it would cost literally $millions to root out even part of the corruption and graft, so the governing officials allow it to continue and write it off as part of the cost of doing business.
Right. The EU will collapse of its own weight, with or without Brexit. Brexit just gave it a little push. Too big, too corrupt, too unresponsive to its citizens.
