The number of Europeans who would want their countries to leave the European Union has dramatically increased, says a new Sputnik.Polls survey. European experts commented on the reasons why the number of Eurosceptics in EU has grown.

More than half (53%) of the respondents in Italy said they would like their government to hold a referendum on their membership in the European Union. 43% of respondents in France want their country to leave the euro-bloc, followed by Germany (43%), Spain (39%), and Poland (38%). The poll showed that after the United Kingdom decided to leave the EU in June, the number of people willing to follow suit had sharply increased by 5-10%.

European experts, whom Sputnik asked to comment on the possible reasons of this backlash against the EU in European countries, said that the gap between the EU political elite and its people has grown.

“International bureaucrats operating inside the Brussels machine from any European country have much more in common with each other than with the people of their own country. … They are completely divorced from the democratically expressed will of their electors,” Srdja Trifkovic, political analyst and foreign affairs editor for Chronicles magazine told Sputnik International.
