Check these poll rateings, the people have had enough…..it is now just a matter of time.
It is politics that now matter. EU veterans warn that any mishandling of the Greek drama could escalate into an existential threat to the European Project itself. They deplore the sabre-rattling in Brussels and Berlin, deeming it petulant, even bordering on idiocy at a time when the political centre is imploding in a string of countries, and not just in the South.
The Dutch Labour Party, the dominant force of Holland’s post-war `Polder’ era, collapsed to 9pc in the EU elections last year. It has immolated itself like so many of Europe’s once-great socialist parties by enforcing what amounts to reactionary 1930s policies in the name of EMU. “The centre-Left has lost all credibility,” said Simon Tilford from the Centre for European Reform.
Spain’s Podemos party – much in evidence at Syriza’s victory party in Athens, and even more mutinously radical – is leading national polls at 27pc. Marine Le Pen’s Front National won the EU elections in France with calls for a return to the franc and a return to sovereign borders. The three biggest opposition parties in Italy are now hostile to the euro. This is not contagion from Greece. It is running in parallel. Yet how it is handled will spill over with emotional force into the internal debates everywhere in Europe.
