Euro Area

[Beskar]

i would say that you are merely witnessing symptoms of the disease; that governance lacking in accountability or representation will inevitably fail to govern with integrity, and this lack of integrity will be considered visible evidence of its illegitimatacy.

my idea is that the EU is an illegitimate form of governance.
the consequnce is that people will shout about EU corruption.

it's not a perfect world, for people should be shouting about the cause of the problem, not its effects, but there we are.

Which is why there should be efforts to make it "[both] accountable [and] representative", which has always been my argument. The ideological concept of a single currency is good. The ideological concept of replacing national governments with a European one is good. However, the EU is not implemented in this fashion mostly due to national self-interest preventing power from going to the European people away from the national political elite (with the backing of Euroscepticism) resulting in the corrupt mess politically and economically that is the current EU.
