It's hard to believe that a tiny country like Greece, Ireland, Bulgaria, etc, could weald sufficient influence on monetory matters across the whole Eurozone/EU/world to destabilise - or even destroy - the whole edifice.
If we hadn't seen it happening in front of our very eyes, nobody would think it possible.

If this is the case, or if a domino effect of smaller destabilisations cannot be re-stabilised within the existing structures, than a deep change is certainly needed.

One even needs to be able to impose decisions”.

If this is democracy, then god help us,
This is nothing less that dictatorship in action; these European nutters are leading Europe straight to hell,
And dragging Britain with her, as our own stupid leaders are blindly walking straight in the front door,
And their can ever be only one future result?
