Holland probably

Why would Holland get out of The Netherlands?

 

[Funky Papa]

Express is a tabloid with a huge Tory streak and a huge anti-EU slant. Don't pay them attention. They are just making noise for the hell of it.

Portugal:
the Far-Right anti-EU parties in Portugal have no representation

the establishment Right coalition is Pro-EU (now sitting as main opposition)

the establishment Center-Left party is Pro-EU but have formed a coalition government with two Far-Left parties who are anti-EU

if Portugal ever decides to leave the EU, it will happen from the Far-Left not the Far-Right.

not going to happen. Portugal is a relatively centrist country that swings from Center-Left to Center-Right like a ping pong

---------

Spain however is more volatile politically, FunkyPapa would be best versed at explain it

All Spanish parties are strongly pro European. Podemos is the most critical of them, yet it was the only one campaigning in the UK for remain. The population is also massively pro European and share an intense feeling of belonging.

Not gonna happen.

German finance ministry says there are concerns France, Austria, Finland, the Netherlands & Hungary could follow UK's lead in leaving #EUref

This been posted?

 

[Metroxed]

No other member state will be leaving the EU any time soon.

[bjaelke]

When the Netherlands and Denmark have left the EU as well they should join a union with the UK.

Screw that. Let's restore the Kalmar Union.

Spoiler

we're not leaving EU

I meant Netherlands. Sorry old UK fault of calling it that.

Seriously. Geert Wilders' party has led in almost every poll in the Netherlands asking about the next general election. He's already called for a Dutch EU referendum.

Can someone help decipher the real countries please?

Grexit - Germany??
Departugal - Portugal
Italeave - Italy
Fruckoff - ???France??
Czechout - Czech
Oustria - Austria
Finish - Finland
Donemark - Denmark
Byegium - Belgium
The Ditch - Netherlands/Dutch?

 

[Toa TAK]

Holy crap that poll is amazing.

 

[SneakyStephan]

What a clickbait thread/title op

Noone is asking for a referendum , not even the right wing nutjob politicians trying to get some attention off of this today.

Grexit is Greece. Why Greece would want to leave is beyond me though, who'll bail them out then?

I'm not really familiair with the procedure but what needs to happen for a referendum to take place? I mean, didn't we vote for politicians to decide about this shit in the first place?

Spoiler

that poll tho

 

[Spiritwalker]

Why would Denmark leave though? They're already one of the most successful countries in the world, unlike the UK. Is the EU holding them back somehow?

Genuniely curious as I haven't paid much attention to Danish politics lately.

 

[SpecX]

LOL this poll is amazing, love Italeave!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I'd imagine Greece being the most likely as a side effect of leaving the euro but even that is not likely. All eyes are on the negotiations with UK now and how they end up within a few years after the exit is complete. If it ends up being a disaster I doubt anybody will even whisper about EU referendums for a while.

 

[MicH]

Lol Kristian Thulesen. He's like the only one (plus Enhedslisten) rooting for Denmark's exit. There's no way I'm hell that's happening remotely soon.

 

[TCRS]

nexit is the nexit

 

[Rolodzeo]

Nobody.

 

[Ether_Snake]

France should be Eurovoir.

 

[Imperfected]

Get in, there's no time to Exspain!

 

[QuicheFontaine]

France should be Eurovoir.

God that's good

 

[SecretSphere]

The Netherlands will be next I think. Polls show a massive support for the party who wants to have a referendum about it and a research by the public broadcast shows that a majority of the Dutch people want a referendum and a majority want to leave: http://www.geenstijl.nl/mt/archieven/2016/06/come_on_england_give_us_a_push.html

 

[Red Arremer]

Austria yeah... they'd be delusional enough to believe they'd survive that.

Of course they wouldn't, but the anti-EU sentiment here is quite high.

 

[2San]

People who think the Dutch will be the first to leave are pretty damn delusional. We are a small trading country heavily dependent on Germany. Even before the euro we matched our currency with the German mark. We are one of the founding members of the EU. Even if a referendum would come around to leave. Our politicians would ignore it. They would rather commit political suicide then cripple the nation.

 

[CheDominik]

Watch it be Germany lmao

We don't do referendums on a federal scale. It's not completely out of the question legally, but the mechanisms aren't in place.

And I'm thankful for that. Direct democracy is fool's gold.

Funny because even far right alternative for Germany want to stay in

Even if they weren't. The whole refugee clusterfuck has lost it's luster a little and the AFD is heading towards irrelevancy. If they get some seats they will be isolated in parliament and even more irrelevant.

 

[CheDominik]

edit: sorry double post

 

[Rentahamster]

I think I'll leave the EU. It's not you, it's me.

thanks for the clarification. Free roaming in the Iberian Peninsula continues

 

[BobLoblaw]

I'm just here for the awesome poll.

It needs some Thor 2 The Dark World love

 

[Pandy]

British prime-minister was elected on the promise of organising a referendum for Leave. When there will be another European leader elected based on a similar promise there is something to discuss about it. Until then is just bollocks.

[Matty8787]

No one. They will wait and see how the UK fares

Pretty hard. They have an incentive to make UK regret it also to scare other members from leaving

So that's the good old EU eh? Let's scare our member states into staying with us.

Shouldn't they be saying "stay with us because we offer incentive and security" not scare them.
