[quote]Finally, the interactive chart below allows you to see the data for each of the 28 EU member states separately. There is a large heterogeneity both in the level and changes of citizens’ perceptions across the EU. Some interesting points: Trust in the EU has increased in the United Kingdom after the Brexit referendum, albeit from a low level; Trust in the EU and satisfaction with democracy are gradually falling in France; The euro is becoming even more popular in Germany, while trust in the EU has only slightly recovered; Satisfaction with democracy at home is the highest in Nordic countries: Denmark, Sweden and Finland; In all 13 new member states that joined the EU in 2004-13, satisfaction with home democracy has consistently been (much) lower than satisfaction with EU democracy, while the 15 older member states are mixed in this regard; At the same time, satisfaction with home democracies is on an upward trend since the crisis in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia; Support for the euro is lower now than a decade ago in those new member states that have not yet joined the single currency: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania – the same applies to Denmark and Sweden too; Support for the euro is at or close to its highest level in six new member states that have introduced the common currency: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia. This result, together with the previous point, suggests that euro area citizens are actually happy with euro membership, but the attractiveness of the euro has declined in the ‘outs’.[/quote] [URL="http://bruegel.org/2017/03/european-spring-trust-in-the-eu-and-democracy-is-recovering/"]Source[/URL] [IMG]https://i.redd.it/9bzweko0hpoy.jpg[/IMG]

I'm not sure about support for euro. All I hear is complaining that prices have gone up.

[QUOTE=Creatrick;52039265]I'm not sure about support for euro. All I hear is complaining that prices have gone up.[/QUOTE] I heard it too from my grandparents, who preferred the Italian lira (a fine was 2000 lirae, now that same sum is 1 euro) And?
Things are getting better and better. Not suprised at all.
That's quite harsh for an april's fool joke.
Very surprised the Euro support is so high, it's the one part of the EU i think is a bad idea, and seemed to cause a lot of issues in greece. Or am I misreading?
[QUOTE=Occlusion;52042076]Very surprised the Euro support is so high, it's the one part of the EU i think is a bad idea, and seemed to cause a lot of issues in greece. Or am I misreading?[/QUOTE] It's surprisingly high even in Greece at almost 70% (while the other indicators there currently show only about 20%).
The stats will be good either until Brexit negotiations go sideways or we have another financial crisis.
