Euro Area

[Furunculus]

P.S. Oh dear, Furunculus is doing a Farrage.

what's a "farage"

You know I am pro-representation and you know my views on what a Federal Europe should become. In the same breath, you don't want my vision of Europe to ever occur because full well your arguments of "no representation" "lack of democracy" "stupid bureaucracy" would no longer be valid, so the world you have shaped in your vision would be ney impossible to create.

that's because i don't recognise 'europe' to be a valid demos whereby i can have a reasonable amount of confidence that a broad majority view shares my aims and expectations, thus reassuring me that when bad things happen that the response will be predictable and conform to my desires.

I know. Furunculus just compared the EU to the USSR just like Farrage did.
Hence my remark that he was doing a Farrage.

aha, i understand, but presuming you are referring to the soviet-elections hyperlink that was predicated on the EU creating this transfer union without the a mandate from its 'people', which would be an excellent parallel to the old soviet lark of giving everyone a vote which makes no tangible difference to their governance.

There are a great many people advocating for reform, to usher in a era of a stable and democratic Europe

i'm one of them, i want to return europe to a solid principle of intergovernmental rule whereby sovereign nations beholden to their electorates via legitimate ties founded in representation and accountability.
