Comments on the clue
1.Nice but sadly I fear 'a crumbling England might have been politically more appropriate :)
2.Anagram element is split
3.Like 16, this clue assumes E = Europe, for which I can find no justification.
4.Nice, but I just found 16 to be smoother. Still gets points, though.
5.The surface would probably make more sense the other way around. Merit
6.Wordplay isn't quite grammatical and surface reading lacks coherence.
