Italy could still leave EU, senior government adviser says

The European Union has not learnt the lessons of Brexit and could force Italy to reconsider its membership of the bloc, a senior government adviser has told The Telegraph.

Ignazio Corrao, adviser to Luigi Di Maio, the deputy prime minister and leader of the Five Star Movement, attacked the arrogance of the European Commission and EU leaders for making no changes since Britain’s vote to leave the bloc.

Mr Corrao is Mr Di Maio’s right hand man in Brussels and a member of the European Parliament. He was the coordinator for the regional campaigns that ultimately led to a Eurosceptic coalition government in Rome.

He said leaving the EU was not in Five Star's manifesto, "but of course in politics things change. We still believe that we [can] get to a better Europe in the next months and years."

Why would they change anything, it works very nicely for those in charge as it is - and they may be too stupid or rather too arrogant to understand it may not for them for much longer.
