Over 50% of Europeans think the EU's collapse within 14 to 20 years is a "realistic possibility", a YouGov survey has found. Citizens of 10 countries representing 70% of European Parliament seats were surveyed. In 14 countries, a majority predicted the end of the bloc, including 66% in Slovakia and 58% in France. People either planning not to participate in the European elections, or to vote for extremists, were particularly likely to think war among EU countries is possible. However, support for the EU has hit 25-year highs, ahead of elections which are expected to produce a divided parliament.
