Euro Area

What about Greece and Portugal? If these property bubbles are the sole cause of the problem, as you suggest, then surely they must have occured everywhere? But they didn't which proves it was not the property bubbles in themselves that caused the inequalities between the Northern and Southern blocs.

Never claimed any of that, so I won't adress it.

I think most UKIP MEPs would dispute that.

Well they would, wouldn't they? On the eurosceptic side they're responsible for a large part of trashy rethoric.

Which 29,600 odd more votes than have ever been cast for Monti. Did the Italian MPs have a choice of candidates... sadly not. Some election!

I don't know how they arrived at the choice of Monti, or wether there were other serious contenders. Doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned. Monti's cabinet is sanctioned by democraticly elected MP's and is therefore legitimate.

Who are you to decide wether Italian politics are democratic or not, anyway?
