I don't know if this is a widespread feeling, but I sense that our individual elites' willingness to follow American economic solutions to the detriment of the people of europe has led to a disillusion with super-national organisations on the basis that, in times of crisis, people tend to retreat behind their local moat and pull up the drawbridge.

If the EU had been more effective in resisting the neocon onslaught (and yes I understand that the UK was largely responsible for undermining it) it wouldn't have this problem now. If europe gets tough with the banksters and the trans-national financiers and rights the ship, it will recover popularity, if it cowers in the face of them it will not.
