Who Will Leave The EU Next?

When Britain narrowly made the momentous decision to leave the European Union (BREXIT) it was predicted by many political commentators that other European Union countries would follow Britain's lead, and the EU would collapse. 

Article 50

Article 50 is a 5-point plan should any country wish to leave the European Union. Which country will that be if any?

There are dissenting voices in many EU countries with both left and right-wing parties questioning recent actions by Brussels, especially in relation to budget contributions.

The online bookmakers never slow to price up a betting market concluded that the autonomous act by Britain would give confidence to other disillusioned EU countries and the whole European project would collapse. 

With this in mind, they created a book on the Next Country To Leave The European Union.


Italy 3/1

  • Current betting has Italy as favourites to follow Britain in the "go it alone club".
  • Italy seems to be increasingly at odds with many of the rules coming down from the EU. 
  • Italy has a strong right-wing coalition and it is fair to say they are not fans of Brussels  
  • They have been favourites to leave since the market was created.

Poland 7/1

  • Many in Poland who rely heavily on Coal are angry that the EU is heading in a greener direction and imposing its will on the country.
  • This has incensed the miners of Upper Silesia and could see the Polish Government defying the EU over carbon emission targets, this issue could be a tipping point. 
  • Add in LBGT and Abortion rights and some within the heavily Catholic nation are questioning their EU membership.

Greece 6/1

  • Hard on the heels of Italy is Greece. 
  • This is despite the EU bailing out Greece when their economy ran into trouble.
  • Many citizens because of the imposed austerity measures are hostile toward the EU. 
Grexit

Austerity measures imposed by the Greek government enabled an EU bailout package of 240 Billion Euros.

France 8/1

  • William Hill has France towards the head of the betting.
  • France was a driving force in the formation of the EU, the french leaving could see the end of any economic and political union between European nations.
French Election Stalemate

In the French Election, both the left-wing (NUPES) and the right-wing (National Rally) became power brokers, both are euro sceptical.

The Czech Republic 12/1

  • Refugees, the Euro, and Climate Change are issues within the borders of the Czech Republic. 
  • The population it seems is split on the benefits of remaining part of the EU, and as a country, they have shortened in the betting.

Austria 12/1 

  • In 2020 there have been rumblings of unhappiness by the Austrian people of the EU. 
  • A referendum on the EU is a possibility by the conservative OVP party, the bookmakers have reacted and cut the price on Austria leaving.

The Netherlands 12/1

  • A recent poll showed 75% to 25% in favour of EU membership. 
  • It seems the Dutch would be one of the last countries to vote leave, although we are a bit surprised at their "shortish" odds.

Hungary 14/1

  • Of all the current European leader's President Orban of Hungary seems to have the most animosity towards and from Brussels. 
  • The Ukrainian invasion by Russia has further complicated EU relations with Hungary. 
  • Hungary overall has benefited from membership with its economy doing well. 
  • However, the Hungarian government seems entrenched in their views about, how they should spend their EU money, open borders and immigration, this has led to friction between themselves and the EU. 
  • In June 2021 Hungary passed a law banning LGBTQ content to be taught in schools, a referendum will take place on that issue at the same time as the election. 
  • Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said, "for me, Hungary has no place in the EU anymore".
Orban Mandate

Viktor Orban won a resounding victory in the April 2022 election. This will embolden him in his dealings with the European Union in the years to come.

Spain 14/1

  • Spain to leave the EU?
  • The rise of the Right-Wing VOX party in Spain has ruffled European Union feathers, the party won 10% of the votes and 52 seats in the Nov 2019 Election.
  • The VOX party is lukewarm on Europe.
  • However, Spain has historical issues relating to the Civil War, Catalonia and the Basque country so a referendum on leaving Europe does not look likely.

Portugal 16/1

  • Portugal is the poorest country in Western Europe and has seen plenty of financial support from bigger nations within the EU. 
  • Both the main political parties the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Socialist Party (PS) support membership of the European Union, there does not seem much appetite for change.

Cyprus 18/1

  • The island has been divided since 1974 when the Turks invaded. 
  • Turkey possibly joining the group of nations has ruffled the feathers of many European countries
  • Any EU concessions towards Turkey may hasten the Cypriots leaving.
  • However, the island received a joint IMF and EU bailout of 10 billion euros, so is reliant on funding from Brussels.

Ireland 25/1

  • Seems unlikely that such a young population would vote to leave the EU. As one of the smaller nations Ireland has benefited hugely from membership.

Denmark 33/1

  • The Danish government took unilateral action over immigration that allowed it to relocate asylum seekers outside Europe. 
  • This policy puts the Danes in breach of current European Union rules.

Sweden 33/1

  • Betfair does not think it likely that liberal Sweden would cast off from the good ship EU. 
  • However, the populist Sweden Democrats are making gains in the country.
  • They as a party are at best sceptical on the value of the EU.
  • The Democrats would look to renegotiate their financial contribution and are opposed to the Schengen border agreement.
Swedish Election

In 2022 Swedes went to the polls, and the euro-sceptic right-wing parties made big gains.
