Great article. Those claiming or rather hoping the EU is going to collapse any time soon have been saying the same old thing for years. Nothing new to see here.

With some Brexiters ranting, it’s clear they want the EU to fail much more than wanting the UK to succeed.

Because for them, it’s just about ‘winning’ the argument in the way they supposedly won the 2016 referendum. For them to win the argument, the EU has to fail. Not the UK actually doing well or thriving.

This basic Brexiter argument has simply become a battle of survival. A fight to the death between the EU and the UK. And the only way to win is not to actually do better than before. But for the other side to fail. When Brexiters talk of the “EU about to collapse”, they don’t actually believe it. However, they need it to happen to justify their vote.

And even then, it’d not make their views any more valid. Because had the UK still remained in an EU that collapsed, it would hardly have mattered. Because, according to these Brexiters, the UK would be able to thrive on its own anyway! We would not have been affected.
