There is “simmering discontent” across Europe at the European Union, a new survey has revealed, with a majority of people believing another country will follow the UK’s lead and leave the bloc.

A major survey of public opinion across the EU found there is a “visible divide” between how the “elite” view the organisation and the general population.

A report by the Chatham House international affairs think tank found the "decision makers and influencers" of the EU were much more optimistic about its future while everyday voters were much more likely to be dissatisfied with it.
