MediaFaro Analysis

3 in 4 Europeans see benefits of EU, record numbers want more security.

With 74% of Europeans in all member states saying they believe their country has benefited from EU membership, the bloc’s approval rating is at a record high since the question was first asked in 1983.

While ratings are up, expectations for the next five years are down. A third expect their standard of living to decrease and over a third want a focus on defence and security.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from A. R. Moxon

   Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
   That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives any more.
   They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?

Andrew R. Moxon (contemp.) American writer, critic [a.k.a. Julius Goat]
