   THE VOTE IN ITALY WILL BE A “WIDE-RANGING F**K OFF”, AND IT’S JUST THE   
   START…   
   This will determine the fate of the entire European Union   
      
   December 4, Italy is holding a referendum that will determine the fate of the   
   entire European Union.   
      
   Donald Trump’s victory—which shocked Europe’s political and media   
   elite—gives the populists backing the “No” side of Italy’s referendum   
   the political rocket fuel they need for a virtually guaranteed win.   
   That momentum will be all but impossible to reverse. Anti-elite sentiment is   
   rising on both sides of the Atlantic. And I bet the global populist revolution   
   will continue.   
      
   If Italians buck the establishment—and it looks like they will—it will   
   clear a path for a populist party to take power and for Italy to exit the euro.   
   If that happens, the fallout will be catastrophic for global markets. The   
   Financial Times recently put it this way:   
      
   An Italian exit from the single currency would trigger the total collapse of   
   the eurozone within a very short period.   
   It would probably lead to the most violent economic shock in history, dwarfing   
   the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008 and the 1929 Wall Street crash.   
      
   If the FT is even partially right, we’re looking at a possible stock market   
   crash of historic proportions. This is why we’re watching the December 4   
   referendum so closely.   
      
   The referendum is meant to concentrate more power in Italy’s central   
   government. On that point alone, everyone should oppose it. The centralization   
   of power never leads to good things.   
   A “Yes” vote is effectively a vote of confidence in the current pro-EU   
   Italian establishment. This is what the global elite wants.   
   A “No” vote is how the average Italian can give the finger to the faceless   
   EU bureaucrats in Brussels, whom many blame—quite correctly—for their   
   problems.
