No country is "defecting" the EU. Some talk about leaving the EUR. But even the larger leftist Greece parties do neither want to leave the EUR (which enables them to survive) or the EU. Why should countries - "poorer" ones - leave the European Union when it spends billions of EUR every year to increase the living standard of those countries and spends billions mostly on agricultural subsidies? The European Union has been a large money transfer project in the last 20 years.
