Solidarity in the EU: countries are most willing to help other countries in the event of a natural disaster, public health crisis or military attack.

They are least willing to help with an unemployment/debt crisis

Solidarity in the EU: while many countries are willing to help out in a crisis in principle, it depends on who they're helping. People in 9 of the 13 EU countries are unwilling to help the UK (Britons are happy to help out all 13 EU countries though)

Romania - 27%
Greece - 23%
Poland, Italy - 22%

yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image

yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image
The EU: better than national government? In Poland and Romania people are more likely to trust the EU than the national government on all issues we asked about yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image
While many Europhiles have always opposed the concept, among Europeans themselves there is limited opposition to a 'two speed Europe'. Most opposed are the Greeks, at 21%.

yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image
Should the EU be a military power? 12 of the 14 countries we studied supported the creation of an EU army, although there is a divide on whether to prioritise improving NATO over integrating EU defences:

NATO
🇮🇹🇩🇪🇪🇸🇫🇷🇬🇷🇸🇪

EU army
🇵🇱🇭🇺🇱🇹🇳🇱🇷🇴🇫🇮

yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image
Should the EU be a global power? All 14 countries wanted to see the EU more powerful than China, but France and Lithuania don't want to see it more powerful than America yougov.co.uk/topics/interna… Image
