The turmoil following on from Brexit and the election of Donald Trump in the US has opened a Pandora’s box for Ireland and the EU. Ideas that might have been unthinkable up until a few months ago are now being openly discussed. Are we witnessing the beginning of a New World Order? Can the Euro survive? What about Europe? Is an Irexit on the cards? What about a united Ireland?
In this new authored documentary, economist David McWilliams examines how Ireland, as a fringe player in a rapidly changing Europe, is at a crossroads. He visits France where Marine Le Pen’s 34% showing in their recent presidential election marks the level of anti-establishment and anti-European sentiment. And he also visits England where the upcoming general election is regarded as yet another measure of the depth of nationalist feeling.
In Brexit, Trump and Us, David McWilliams explores the events that have left us and Europe facing tough decisions and presents the results of a Red C national poll where the people of Ireland express their views on how we should react to a rapidly changing world.
