Euro Area

[gaelic cowboy]

Pegging into Sterling won't help you very well, it'll be like pegging into the Euro, unless you get either cheap credit or have a transfer Union.

Ireland can accept Euro oversight, de-couple and devalue, or snuggle up to the UK.

So... de-couple and devalue really.

When we had our own currency we had to track sterling and the dollar due to our trade patterns, the reality is we still should be doing that today.
Basically we were fine before whats wrong with admitting a mistake and starting over, the level of disconnect I hear all the time about how you cannot go back blah blah is just daft.

I not stupid enough to think it would be painless to leave the Euro, but I have enough brains to cop this cannot pass and therefore it is another crisis for the Euro.

Do they really want to have deal with an Irish no vote again I doubt it, were heading for the door bye and it's what europe wants

You can't vote the EU buggers out, That's the crux of the problem.

Thats what I will say when someone tries to blacken me with eurosceptism or extreme republicanism or whatever ism you like.

Sure Irish politicians make mistakes but at least I can get rid of them, I never voted for Mr Rumpy Pumpy our new potential overlord.

You can't vote the highest tier directly in either can you?

Oh, quite. Ireland would be best to leave - as would Greece and Portugal. The fact that a controlled breakup of the EU has not already begun is, frankly, unintelligable. What we are going to get is a forced breakup instead, or a Fourth Riech.

It's what they want in reality there just incapable of admitting it.

I suspect they want us to vote no in fact the crisis would require some kind of exit plan for a country allowing Germany to decouple Ireland, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy and whoever else wants the door.
