In this episode we talk to George Billinge spokesperson with DiEM 25 (Democracy in Europe Movement 2025) about Europe's future and the total lack of democracy within the halls of power in Brussels. Can Europe be saved or will it be torn about by its own internal undemocratic structures?  

As Britain struggles to reposition its self after the fallout of Brexit and many reactionary figures south of the border jump on the United Ireland bandwagon, the prospect of an end to partition has never been nearer.
