European 'Spring' - left wing revolution....?

[Corsair7]

How many European countries are going to reject their incumbant governments in the coming months due to austerity measures imposed on them by the EU? Is this a revolution unfolding accross the euro zone?

The French and the Greeks seem to be leading the way, what about Spain, Italy and Portugal?

A snap election in the UK would probably see a landslide labour victory too.....

Is the German government safe?

Ironic considering the EU is following a largely left-wing agenda of tax-and-spend by a bunch of control freaks.

All of them probably.

Going, going, gone. Actually Spain's had an election not long ago but with 25% unemployment. Among young males the rate is much higher, we all know employment is unevenly distributed. I would expect there are some communities where almost nobody has a job. How can it remain stable for long under those circumstances?

Somehow I doubt it, people still remember who caused the trouble in the first place. Most of the swing in the local elections is a combination of punishment and disliking our left-leaning coalition. In most cases the UKIP vote was more than the Labour margin. If they did get in like that I think I'd emigrate.

Definitely not. Merkel has annoyed the public too much by propping up the EU and Euro. It's just the Germans have been ignored so far.



Hopefully we can see the EU stripped down to a trade area and concentrate on the few things it does well rather than explode. Unfortunately I reckon it's about to burst.

Daft question but how did the Greeks have a left wing revolution...their centre left parties got massacred! Far left, far right and anti Europe parties gained heavily
