We are now in the midst of the EU elections, which started today with the UK and the Netherlands, however, we will not know the results from all EU member states until Sunday evening. We are anticipating a rise in populism across the EU, thus sending many Euroskeptics to the EU parliament. If this occurs, then we can imagine that the EU may very well begin to disintegrate, as individual countries want to re-take their sovereignty. Even if it’s not a disintegration, if populists make sizeable gains to EU parliament, we can expect several structural changes. We also discuss the do nothing government in the US – what if anything will be accomplished domestically prior to the 2020 Presidential election?
