In his new book, 'Slippery Slope', author John Smith argues that Brexit is just the beginning of a wider crisis that could lead to the disintegration of the European project. Smith traces the roots of the crisis back to the eurozone crisis of 2010-2012, which exposed deep divisions within the EU over economic policy.

Smith argues that the eurozone crisis led to a loss of trust between the EU's member states. This loss of trust has been exacerbated by the rise of populism and nationalism in recent years. These forces have made it increasingly difficult for the EU to find common ground on a range of issues, from immigration to climate change.

Brexit, Smith argues, is a symptom of this wider crisis. The UK's vote to leave the EU was driven by a number of factors, including dissatisfaction with the EU's economic policies, concerns about immigration, and a sense that the UK was losing its sovereignty to the EU.

Brexit has already had a significant impact on the UK. The UK's economy has slowed down, and the value of the pound has fallen. The UK's political system is also in turmoil, with the Conservative Party deeply divided over Brexit. Prime Minister Theresa May has been unable to get her Brexit deal through Parliament, and her leadership is now in jeopardy.

The UK's departure from the EU will also have a significant impact on the EU itself. The EU will lose one of its largest and most important member states. This will weaken the EU economically and politically. The EU will also face a number of challenges in the years to come, including the rise of populism and nationalism, the eurozone crisis, and the migration crisis.

In 'Slippery Slope', John Smith argues that the EU is at a crossroads. The EU can either reform itself and address the challenges it faces, or it can continue to slide down a slippery slope towards disintegration. The future of Europe depends on the choices that are made today.

If you are interested in learning more about the EU and its future, then I highly recommend reading 'Slippery Slope'. Smith's book is a well-written and thought-provoking analysis of the challenges facing Europe today.
