"[Germany] won't even exist as a coherent country in the next generation ... and I think the same thing is true of Great Britain. The same trajectory of demographic change, low fertility, a general attack on any attempt to reconsolidate the country around some sort of shared mythos ... by the time you get to 2050 the country has effectively disintegrated. It may continue to exist as a legal entity ... Saint Augustine identified that the thing that makes a mass into a people are shared loves ... I would say if I'm Great Britain, you want to blow on the embers of that love, make it stronger, make it more than just a bureaucratic operation... "
