Cicero has dug up an interesting bit on the EU referendum in France. This Spectator piece, reprinted at antiwar.com, lays out what's going to happen with the EU in the coming months and years. The EU will press forward, irrespective of how the people vote. The commentator notes that this is already how the French government works, then notes that where the EU is concerned, the Brits have also created an overclass indifferent to the will of the people.
Another reason the EU won't eclipse the US or Anglosphere: the EU elite are good at wielding power, but not doing much else. Without their people on board, they'll be like the powerful in the Little Prince, all ruling over their respective domains but with nothing tangible to show for it.
