the UK Vote: Is the EU doomed?

As many know, llabor got thrashed last night. The issue that came up was nationalism, both England wanting out of the EU, to Scotand rejecting Labor and wanting out of the UK. Of course, Angela Merkel's austerity measures have soured many about the EU, and France looks ready to elect marine Le Pen who is running on getting rid of the Euro.

So,is the EU still viable at this point?

up being a European version of Trickle Down Economics. The economic model of helping the rich get richer so that they will share the wealth is not working. It is time for an economic system that helps the poor become middle class in both the US and in Europe.
