Brexit

And there we have it.

The last few years of remarkable work by such luminaries as Angela Und Wheely Boy and DieselBloke's Eurogroup have just achieved their most impressive result to date. Brexit is the result of the hard work of these and other equally brilliant Elected Accountants.

The crocodile tears shed today by these people were amusing, as was the "good riddance" sentiment expressed by some officials, which was nothing more than the venting of some impotent frustration.

And, as expected, others are lining up for the "we want our referendum, too". They've been collecting benefits from these last few years, and these EU/Europe Elected Accountants are, in truth, The Gift That Keeps On Giving. Officials like these are a dream come true for any leader of an extremist party/movement.

Some have expressed the hope that this would serve as a wake-up call for the EU, so that the disastrous policies of these last years would be reversed.

Yeah, I know. I'll wait a while, until you stop laughing.

There's no way these Elected Accountants can turn back now. These idiots have spent the last few years securing their internal positions using a divisive strategy. Germany set the stage for the Hard-Working North vs. Lazy South. Then, it got a shot of its own remedy, via Hungary's No-Refugee East vs. Refugee-Friendly West.

This is the new image of the EU, a group of petty nations looking suspiciously at each other, progressively more entrenched in the idea that "I'd be better off without these leeches". And this is the image imparted to, and absorbed by, the European people. This is beyond repairing, now.

There will be no significant changes. Imbeciles like our Eurogroup buddies will blissfully carry on, oblivious to anything having to do with politics and to the social and political consequences of their actions.

Little has changed since the last time I said this (2012): The EU is dead. Maybe I should have prefixed it with a "Ding-Dong!"...?
