I did not vote for political and financial integration. The "Common Market" as it was then called was an excellent idea. This has now morphed into the "European Economic Community" and now the "European Union. The EU has it's own flag and currency, it's laws transcend ours, from the Common Agricultural Policy to Fishing to Human Rights to accounts not being signed off it has been a disaster for the UK. <br /><br />Even worse I have not had the chance to vote in a referendum to determine if I want to be governed by unelected representatives from other countries.<br />The sooner this rotten, corrupt, expensive, undemocratic, institution founders, the better.Andrew Hardingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-648803972974227492011-09-23T18:44:30.906+01:002011-09-23T18:44:30.906+01:00Probably this will be mugged by the blog author bu...Probably this will be mugged by the blog author but in view of the post-democratic actions of the EU Commission and the party leaders there will be NO re-ordering of anything.

Whatever happened to democracy? There will never be any in the European hierarchy. The nettle must be grasped, and the opportunity exists now, to opt for EXIT. It is probably the only such chance we will have in the whole of our remaining history as a nation.<br /><br />Les B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-33695602644950740132011-09-12T17:19:40.852+01:002011-09-12T17:19:40.852+01:00Greece entered the Eurozone on a false prospectus ...Greece entered the Eurozone on a false prospectus of its finances aided and abetted, allegedly, by concealed loans from Goldman Sachs. Most of the Eurozone countries knew that Greece did not meet the criteria for joining the zone, but still pressed ahead. The Greek tragedy is a self inflicted own goal<br />For one of the most frank and outspoken assessments of current Greek Government opinion see the interview on www.rt.com with Mr Simos Kedi koglou. He makes the very valid point that Germany is loaning money to Greece at a higher rate than it is charged itself and has already cost Greece more than the original loan.<br />The ECB has issued loans which are at least four times higher than its 2009 capitalisation of 850 million euros, as far as I can ascertain from its arcane accounting system. This is unsustainable, and it is vital that Britain does not become involved in any further bailouts. The disintegration of the Eurozone into fractious squabbling countries is surely a matter of weeks away, and the resignation of Juergen Starck at such a critical stage of the debate adds momentum to the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Eurozone.Robert Snarehttp://www.ukip.aldershot.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-31446824125037993202011-09-12T13:00:06.103+01:002011-09-12T13:00:06.103+01:00If Greece would have to go through a hard default ...If Greece would have to go through a hard default in either scenario, there would seem no point in it remaining in the euro, one of the sources of its problems.Sheonanoreply@blogger.com
