I devoutly hope this doesn't happen but ever since 1989 I've broken myself of the habit of sayung that anything can't happen and the breakup of Yugoslavia taught me that ethnciity never dies.

Interesting enough to pass it on to friends in the UK for scrutiny. Regardless of why or what! the consequences of a break up of the European Union 'could' be disastrous. Having said that; the first thing a divided Europe will do (the same can be said for a divided Canada/Quebec) is to enter talks on how to work together!! Just because there are those that take advantage of ,& ruin well meaning national or international agreements does not mean that the agreement was at fault in the first place. The world is awash with problems particularly financial that were brought upon by the greedy & dishonest ; not those that wished for a bit more understanding & peacful living.
