Is Nigel Farage right about Italy?

[Matxe92]

Will Italy leave the EU?

Points from Farage:
1. Economic disaster for Italy, no growth in Italy for 20 years.
2. Youth unemployment is at 40%
3. They are a mediteranean people, arguments about being sensible and secure have less residence versus northern european mindset.
4. No historical/emotional tie to europe of joining together after war.

I wonder what do Italians think.

Would you guys vote leave if there was a referendum tomorow?

Possibly, if Italy did leave after Britain, they would get a good deal I believe. EU can't afford to lose another major power.

Yes but no historical ties to Europe? Like what?!

Yeah sorry i formulated that abit wrong. He argues that there is not emotional and historical tie of joining together after war.

Depends, its a weak point but the others are spot on.

That's bullshit (if the people want to leave EU, they should have the inalienable right to do so)

Yeah you are basically talking about factual arguments with the other ones. So there is no discussing it. It's a disaster.

Who even had emotional ties of comming together? Wasn't the whole EU thing just forced on France and Germany, so that they don't piss each other on?

Well, Italy is a EU founder (actually the EEC). It was very benefitial for the country: lack of growth/stagnation came after the adoption of the Euro, when Italy lost sovereignity over its currency.

I think leaving the EU will not be benefitial for the country. It would be better if Italy tried to renegotiate different treaties (Maastricht, Lisbon, etc.) and, especially, the currency issue. Abandoning the Euro from one day to another is not possible and would have catastrophic consequences. The EU should be changed from inside and for all EU countries.

I wouldn't vote for an Italexit tbh. Doesn't make any sense, even though I'm against this technocrat, globalist and unaccountable form of the EU.

I don't think the will is there anywhere on the continent to leave the EU, sadly.
