Italy's somewhat dubious leader has been ousted - not internally- but in order to satisfy the requirements of the leaders of Germany and France so that the Eurozone may be again sustained....Where will this all end -who knows.
Let us not be spooked into extreme actions that may be regretted in the long run and remember that some of what Europe represents is in the common good ie the original idea of a common market - while the Labour Party is apparently against immediate change in it's pro-European stance- by putting pressure on your Labour MP and pressing for reasoned change your voice will eventually have a hearing. The economic markets also need a degree of consumer faith in order to calm down and for some sort of stability to be re-asserted. Panic is not the answer...
