Another Europe is possible


I'm following the debate on Brexit. As everybody knows there are two positions on the ground:Leavers and  Remainers. But things are not so simple as one might think.
The leavers split up in two opposite parties: those who want to leave at any rate (we may call them hard brexiters, like the former London Major David Johnson) and those who want a good deal in order to soften in some way the negative impact of leaving the single market.
But also the Remainers are in some way divided: there are those who want to stay in the single market because they don't want to loose the profits which come from staying and there are those who want to stay because they believe in Europe as a new political reality capable to face the challenges that are waiting for us in this new century.
As Italian I belong to those Eruropeans who believe that another Europe is possible.
But not only we need another Europe to be stronger against the giants of the world: as a matter of fact we want to stay together because we feel we are brothers in Europe (someone says we are just cousins) and we share the same roots, the same history, the same culture.
Let's stick together to make a Great Europe, English, Scottish and Irish brothers!

Brexit-III

Meanwhile sterling has slid to its lowest lever against the dollar in the last seven years. And many big companies in Britain have expressed the choose to remain in. These are part of the result for fearing Brexit.
It's useless to say the the political destiny of Mr Cameron is now in the polls. 
It's very hard to imagine his staying still in Dowining street if he looses his campaign for UK remaining in the European Union.
Now the debate between the two parties, pro Brexit and against, is getting warmer.
The Brexiters say UK will become greater again out of the European club. They also add that economic adavantages can be provided by bilateral agreements as many other countries have done with the EU; and they quote Canada, South Korea, India, China and many others.
Nevertheless observers note that bilateral economic treaties might not work the same with Great Britain. Furthermore there is much more involving of EU in the fight against terrorism that Britain could not achieve on its own.
It seems to me that most of the Brexiters issues are only nothing but a nostalgic dream over a greatness which can be reached only staying inside the European Union.
And this is woth also for France and Germany.
But the road for an integrated political EU is still hard; just paved with good intentions, at the very moment.
I still believe, none the same, the European Union has a great future: with or without English people.
3. the end.
