The Spirit of Brexit Has Infected the EU
It is a tragic indictment of the EU's leaders that, by holding out against moderate but fundamental political change, they guaranteed the Union's disintegration.

Today, the same three men remain in the highest echelons of the EU’s political pantheon – only now they are singing from the Brexiteers’ hymnal. To understand why is to grasp the EU’s deepening crisis.
