Last time you said:
“The Commonwealth of England, was the World's first Republic.”

“ A common currency is the last step.................”

One Central Bank and Once Currency. That idea is so far dead (frozen)..what is good news. I hope Argentines, Brazilians and more are simply against it, because it's a terrible idea, as I typed before, it's going to end like the EURO (It won't work).
