I'm not being funny, but the EU still does that, it looks for common ground, the EU wouldn't get very far if it didn't do that.
As for the rise up, the rise up is simply and has little to do with the EU, countries are very good at blaming others for the mess the country gets its self into, the EU tends to be the scapegoat for many EU countries, just look at the UK, they constantly blamed the EU for all the wrongs in the UK, yet now the UK is out of the EU, the UK is going down the toilet, many in the UK are starting to wake up that the real problem wasn't the EU but the UK government and the UK is a perfect example of that.
Italy's problem is that they keep lagging behind on reforms, they've got a very corrupt government that is hurting the country and the economy, the current government in Italy is the Italian people lashing out and blaming anyone they can for the situation in Italy, naturally, the government will blame the EU because it's easier to do that and deflect the heat away from their own mess but it doesn't change anything in Italy unless Italy changes.
This is the case with many countries, if you look closely, you end up realizing that a many of the problems are created at a national level not EU level, the sad thing is, the more they keep blaming the EU for all the wrongs in their country, they are just hurting own countries, really, they should be doing changes needed in their own countries whiles finding solutions at an EU level that make sense, the blame game doesn't help anyone.

Considering everything that's going on in the UK, the UK is a bad example to follow, I mean seriously, since Brexit, the UK has been sinking far faster than we're whiles in the EU, the UK wanted back control, so why are things going so bad in the UK? Could it be that the real problem wasn't the EU and the problem were much closer to home?
Just look at the UK with the Tories, they are lurching from one disaster after another since Brexit, it's funny to see in a sad way because now many of the Brits are starting to see where the real problems are in the UK, it was never the EU, but deluded people always blame others for their own mistakes, in other words, people like you will continue to lash out and blame others as the UK continues to sink, not realizing that you are a big part of the problem why the UK is sinking, it's sad in a funny way that your pride is shooting yourself in the foot and that pride if you're not careful is going to brake the UK union up and the term little Englander will have real meaning then.
So come on guys, see things for how they are and not how you want them to be because you're just deluding yourself, but by all means, continue to delude yourselves, it's not really changing much, after all, according to Brexiteers like Andy, the EU should be falling apart with the UK leaving, if that isn't being deluded, I don't know what is lol.

There isn't really a thing as left or right, the concept behind it is designed to try and label people with different views so someone on the left or right can ignore the views of someone on the opposite side, after all, how many times have you seen arguments and debates from both sides where both sides more or less ignore any of the facts being said, that the entire concept behind the left-right thing, to harden the line of people on both fences against the other side that it's got to the point now where facts don't mean much now.
It's ridicules when you think about it but that's the world we live in and you want to see that, just look at Brexit supporters in the UK or Trump supporters in the US, no matter how much evidence you give these people, many will still support that side, it almost reminds me of a religion or a cult with certain segments of the media and governments around the world pushing this narrative on people and all it's doing is fragmenting people, creating more disunity, getting us all to fight among ourselves whiles at the same time, the rich elites run to the bank at our expense.
You know what is really sad about all this, most people have views that are on the left and right of the political spectrum, most are unaware of that, but they can be tested with many debates that will show they support things on both the left and right.

Far right and caring about the people, history says otherwise.
The reality is, the far right are using the situation as a power grab by telling the people what they think they want to hear, regardless of reality.
Boris Johnson is a prime example of this, he wasn't for or against Brexit before the vote happened, he picked the side where he felt the wind of the people were moving, the ultimate aim was for him to gain power by gaining favour with the people, in this case on Brexit and it worked like a charm on him?
Not enough for you? How about Rupert Murdoch, he tends to be right wing, but watch closely on many elections around the world and he swings from left to right wing depending on where he thinks the people are going, an example of that was Labour in the late 90's, Murdoch knew the Conservative Party were going to lose at the next election so he switched sides, he's not loyal to left or right, he's loyal to where he can gain power and favours with governments, that's how his media operates.
They are basically making fun of the voting people, by playing on their emotions with the aim of grabbing more power for themselves.
Now let's get onto the meat of the topic, shall we? Italy, have you not noticed the closer that party got into power, it toned down the noise on the EU a lot? That wasn't by accident, that was by design, they told the Italian people what they thought they wanted to hear and not what they deliver, now that party is in power, reality kicks in as they start to realize that any mess in Italy, they will get a lot of the blame for, in other words, they had to ease the tonne the closer they got to power and realize they have to work with the EU to get things done that will benefit Italy, otherwise, it would be like shooting one's self in the foot.
Truth is, if the people want real change, start voting with your brains and not your emotions or things will get as bad as what we are seeing in the UK which is sinking fast.
