As Britain looks forward to our own general election, we should pay attention to what is happening in our neighbouring countries for a potential sign of what is to come for the UK and the EU. 2024 is set to be a record year for democracy: some of the world’s biggest elections are happening and soon the continentals will be voting for members of the European Parliament. For decades, Euroscepticism has been growing and issues such as immigration and now, Israel and Palestine have divided opinion in multiple European countries, resulting in infighting and smaller parties rising. Rather than being too big to fail, with so many rival factions and competing interests, the bloc seems so big it will inevitably fail. The outcome of the vote could mean that the EU faces an unstable future.
