The European Dream Is Dying State By State

Europe is being swept by a wave of popular disenchantment and revolt against mainstream political parties and the European Union.
In 2007, a majority of Europeans — 52 per cent — trusted the EU. That trust has now fallen to 35 per cent.
Once, Britain’s Euroscpeticism was the exception, and seen as the biggest threat to the future of the EU.
But now other countries pose a far bigger danger thanks to the political discontents unleashed by the euro.
In Greece, a far-Left Socialist party, Syriza, is poised to win elections with a political programme that would overturn eurozone policies. Many believe the Greek revolt against the loss of their economic sovereignty by eurozone diktat from Brussels or Frankfurt is only the beginning.
In France, Italy and Spain, voters are kicking against mainstream parties that they see as upholding EU institutions such as the euro while failing to represent their own people, the voters.
