It's crazy to even talk about the EU in the face the deep contradictions racking the continent since the '08 crash. Like, Italy's already outright Fash. Macron is playing footsie with LePen on immigration to keep the demsuccs at bay. Hungary and Poland are reactionary wastelands. Greece is staring down the barrel of an increasingly militant Turkyie in between earthquakes and droughts rocking their domestic economy. Germany and the Nords are beating back their own fascist resurgence.

None of these states seem particularly aligned as the EU parliament just becomes a dumping ground for idiots and assholes. This isn't a glorious Rebel Alliance, its a clown car with the Check Engine light burnt out.
