If and when the current structure collapses a new one will replace it, hopefully it'll be the system the people voted to join in the first place, a loose trade union.
OK maybe I need my tin foil hat but do you not think that the agenda all along was to create a United States of Europe?
What we have now is an unelected cabal running things. It's changed substantially since it was the 'Common Market'. Yet we have been given no real voice in these changes.
My guess is that things will get to crisis point globally. And then we will be sold the full package as the only solution. It could even be that the whole David Cameron 'up yours' attitude was simply a temporary sop to the British public.
I think the ultimate solution will be to pull the noose tighter - not cut it.
