The future of an EU with 27 member states. The future of Europe. Such statements raise a lot of questions.

I suppose Norway could be called quite anglophile. My professional career within climate change mitigation has only strengthened that respect over the years. The… » read more

Guy Verhofstadt, unsurprisingly, claims that the solution to Europe’s nationalism problem is further European federalism.

Britain has voted to leave the EU and this is seemingly irreversible. But the million-dollar question is what should come next. The result of the referendum was tight.
