That didn't happen like that.. You should research the ACTUAL facts..
Sarcozy had a tantrum..
He said.. If the Germans don't back my plans, Im leaving this room and we will re assess our relationship with the Germans.. Not that they were going
to leave the EURO.. Why would France leave the EURO? And France is a democratic state.. How can one man change a nations currency? Its a ridiculous
concept.. Absolute nonsense..
Ooh... Please forgive me. I should have thought about what I said first.
I used it as... well... I don't know. I didn't mean anything with it. Sorry.
Now you mention it. Our nations fiscal sovereignty were threatened to be taken away by the European government a few months ago. The thread was
pointed to the British Parliament if I remember correct.
They wouldn't say something like that if they didn't have the power, don't you think ?
This subject has only recently became a point of interest to me. Please be gentile and correct me where I'm wrong. I can take it.
Giving up the economic sovereignty seems to me like a problem. However.
They did all sign the Lisbon treaty so they must have expected this day will come.
Why does it have to take 3 to 4 years ?
I think it would make a big difference if they started to make Europe our Europe. The nations are to nationalistic. There is hardly anything done to
promote it to the public.
It would be far more easy to get things done if Europe is considered ours instead of they.
However it will take us closer to a global government.
Weird indeed.
I for one, I;m not waiting for Obama to show up. Let him proof he's worth something in the states first. The popularity he has in Europe is not based
on anything. (yet)
It looks like he is strategically placed by others. He has no reason to aid Europe while his own country is still in trouble. ( IMO )
