How can you expect a nation with hundreds of years of a shared identity to subsume it, almost entirely, to what was supposed to be an economic partnership and loose confederation.

Eastern Europe is already leaning towards bailing on the EU, if the Netherlands, France or anyone else leaves it's a done deal. Germany overplayed their hand and underestimated the consequences. Good job Merkel.
