"I don't understand why the EU is so resolute on continuing the failing path along which it treads" No neither do I, but blaming banks and capitalism with no restrictions is probably right :)
The Tories are all chummy with banks too. So, nothing will change unless the UK votes left-wing for ages.
What the EU is supposed to do about a migrant "crisis" is beyond anyone. There are so many people and unlike the past you can't just take a piece of free land anymore and farm.
So perhaps the EU should thrown lots of money at it, which is possible if everyone is happy to pay for this by tax. For people they don't see as "one of us". Good luck with that...
Note that the UK/USA quite happily fight over in the ME, but mainland EU is getting all the issues. Money from them? Hah, no...not their problem...
It's not ALL bad where my parents live (NL) people are volunteering to give English lessons, they're opening up old buildings, people gather up clothing etc ...solidarity is not completely lost :)

If a flat minimum wage and benefit system was implemented across the EU it would solve all manner of issues but it's impossible due to the differences in currency/GDP/dorrahs so until that time the net losers are the richer countries, GB being one of them.
The EU enforced austerity in the (PIGS) Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain has crippled their young with unemployment and the problem is growing. Add to that the migrant crisis and the EU is in a bad way with pretty grim medium and long term prospects.
I don't understand why the EU is so resolute on continuing the failing path along which it treads. Oh yeah, German fucking banks.
I'm not saying leaving the EU will solve our issues but it does at least remove some of the contributing factors and force change. I only hope we have a government that can bring the right change. Foolishly, probably.
