Re: Stiglitz: Reform or Divorce in Europe (none / 1)

Whule I'm not overly optimistic, it is too early to state that the shock of Brexit hasn't brought about a re-think.

And, yes, a peripheral states coalition could be a way to obtain major changes, including rewriting the treaties. A strong, Europe-wide political movement could certainly help convince some governments.

At this point, the only place a European-wide political movement could come from would be the far right, which would have to accommodate their nationalist positions to do so at all. That wouldn't look pretty, just pretty ugly.
