Euro Area

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Did they elect their governments to represent them? Can you say the behaviour of a country's politicians generally reflects the political culture and societal values of a country? If not, why do people elect such politicians to represent them then?



I'd say the blame squarely lies with those people who continuously block political integration in the EU, which allowed for these huge differences in monetary policy and culture in the first place.

We're so far past this petty argument, I can't believe you still want to have it.

Fact: Social unrest is rising everywhere.

Fact: EU integration would not pass a Plebicite anywhere.

So stop complaining about who the electorate are not enlightened enough and get to grips with the problem at hand, viz. actually restoring confidence and making the Euro workable.

So break the blooding thing in two already, rather than tying everyone to the D-Mark.
