Subject
Euroscepticism in Western Europe.
Significance
In the aftermath of the UK referendum to leave the EU ('Brexit'), attention is turning to Euroscepticism across the continent. A number of Eurosceptic parties have called for membership referenda in their countries, while the public response has been mixed.
Impacts
Governments seeking to address Euroscepticism are likely to increase pressure on the EU to reform.
Economic recovery and a slowdown of migrant flows may benefit mainstream parties and reduce support for Eurosceptic movements.
Unpopular EU policies may be put on hold in the short-to-medium term -- likely affecting trade agreements CETA and TTIP.
