Europe is failing

The Australian comments on recent events in Europe that indicate Europe is failing.

CONTINENTAL Europe is at a crossroads. No, scratch that. Continental Europe was at a crossroads a few years ago. This week, it appears to have chosen its path. Taken together, the results of Italy's general election (which turfed out an economic reformer in favour of a former EU president) and the French Government's cave-in to rioters protesting against employment law reform suggest that the strongest forces in Europe today are those of appeasement, stasis and socialism.


And if the situation in German and French schools is anything to go by, the future looks bleak indeed.

Sadly, Britain is headed that way too.
