@RalfGrahn you are an intelligent man, your heart might be pulling you one way but your mind knows that without one parliament running the entire eurozone & reducing national government to the level or local councils the Euro is dead in the water, it always has been & it always will be. It hasn't been holed as severely as the Titanic but it continues to take on water the bilge pumps will work in the short term & maybe even the medium term but you know & I know that they will give up the ghost & sink eventually.
Merkel was only saying yesterday morning the the EU would not be allowed to have supervision of German budgets yet she wants to have the power to veto other national budgets. Unless your singing from the same hymn sheets its not going to work. Italy will never be a German economy the Italians have a pizzazz that the Germans do not they have a flair for design moving from the rails, excitement which you cannot bottle up & sell but it makes their cars & fashion hugely desirable.
Germans rely on their reputation to produce high quality products that last, that do the job with redundant capacity, their tools are well built so of course the products too are generally well built but their cars are not show stoppers unless you like Porsche in the same way as Maserati, Ferrari, or Lamborghini.
The French, well they like their farmers to be well subsidised yet they still have farming practices from the middle ages with tiny strip farming still in vogue! They have their heavy industry too but its neither aesthetically pleasing or rugged enough to compete on quality. What they do do is bend the rules on protectionism very well.
You cannot go to many places in France & turn on the cold water tap & drink what comes out of it, you certainly can't do that either in Spain or Italy yet these are major countries within the EU & they have the cheek to drag a country like Ireland through the EU courts on the pretence that their water infrastructure doesn't meet EU standards. I have never been anywhere in Ireland where I couldn't drink the tap water?
If the EU cannot even get drinking water out of the taps it should shut itself down as not fit for purpose. The EU have directed that the Irish must register every property that is not connected to mains water & sewage adding yet another tier of administration & bureaucratic costs to a heavily indebted country & this debt was piled on the country by the EU!
Anglo Irish Bank was a private bank that racked up massive debts which rendered it bankrupt but the EU wouldnt allow it to collapse it insisted that the State took on all the liabilities & subject the citizens of Ireland to the task of settling those debts. Ireland wouldnt need a bailout if Anglo Irish Bank has simply gone bust.
By insisting that Ireland took on that debt it ensured that the country would be subservient to its new puppet masters in Berlin, Paris & Brussels who's own banks were on the line for their profligate lending.
Now hand on heart, am I right or do you continue to defend those that wish to do away with democracy & force more treaty changes on to people that never have a voice with a referendum. You know & I know that the political classes are pretty much the same they are career politicians interested only in their jobs & hanging on to & increasing their power over the people.
Most Europeans want less government not more, if we had less Government the people would have more of their own money to spend as they see fit & not see it wasted on staffing vast Quangos.
