I think the EU as an institution is on an irreversible but steady downward slope now.
Socially and Economically the odds against its survival are stacking up. And I don't see the political pendulum swinging back in its favor anytime soon either.
Its been riding on the back of decades of growth in progressive post-modernist ideas and politics in the west (open borders, centralized currency and political correctness to name a few)- all of which are now just starting to go out of fashion just about everywhere -but the institutions and metropolitan areas.
Couple that with its mishandling of the economic crisis, then the migrant crisis and its opposition to democracy (when it doesn't go the right way). In the long term, I don't see it making a come back from that but we'll see.
