If there was no EU there would be far fewer crisis’ in Europe nothing like the number of problems, the EU is a problem creating organisation – it likes it that way.
This may seem odd for the rest of us who spend our days doing our best to make life easier by avoiding problems before they happen, and the last thing you would expect from any politicians is the joyful creation of problems which naturally reflect on them possibly hitting them hard in the ballot box. However, we have to remember two important things about the EU.
First the EU is not democratic, its leaders and those that guide it are not accountable to anyone with a vote as none are elected. When it comes to the inconvenience of democracy as far as these people are concerned the voters should be told how and what to vote for and make sure they do as the EU instructs. Democracy to the EU’s leaders is not really something they need concern themselves with, the elected politicians can take all the shit from the electorate just as long as they follow EU instructions.
The other thing to note about the EU and its unelected hierarchy is that problems are a Godsend – hence the reason they do their best to make things worse. As far as these people go the answer to the problems they so happily create and the havoc they wreak on the people, who due to the EU usually callous actions may lose their jobs, homes and businesses, as we so devastatingly experienced during the EMU disaster, is the answer to the problems is more EU not less.
How many times when things in the EU go badly wrong you hear them say: “It is because we haven’t gone far enough, we need more power/control”, and so it goes on with the EU using every problems as a means to remove sovereign power away from the democracies of Europe and hand to itself.
The latest inevitable problem, which was always a ticking fiscal bomb waiting to go off, is the current disaster in the eurozone as nations such as Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland go deeper into debt and need bailouts to avoid default and bankruptcy. This is one the EU lives for and of course, after the real power brokers of the EU, Germany and France, get together to sort out the problem they so happily created, the answer is not to scrap the euro and loosen the ties that now so closely entwine the eurozone nations, but to bind them inextricably closer together which is yet another goosestep closer to a single nation called Europe.
The plan thrashed out by Angela Merkel of Germany and Nicholas Sarkozy of France is to create a real European Union economic government thus reducing the freedom of the eurozone nations to control their own economies. These plans include common tax policies for Germany and France, to ensure all European countries balance their books (God knows how!), and introduce a financial transaction tax. At this stage they are ruling out the issuing of Eurobonds.
This though has still not helped to lift the gloom that has overshadowed the hard hit economies of Europe as the markets have little confidence regarding these plans. That may create the next crisis which the EU will undoubtedly use to give us more EU rather than less.
