[QUOTE="mikep, post: 2631382, member: 4999"] I think the whole problem is that the sh!t from Europe is just the same as the sh!t from the UK but x28. If you look at the UK governance then the ability of a government to function depends on the size of it's majority but also the length of time to the next election. Small majorities produce weak governments that will not take unpopular decisions that need taking. Nor will a government take these decisions near to an election. So in effect there is perhaps effective government for five out of every ten years. Now Europe being 28 nations each with this problem is it any wonder that they are paralysed and can only make pretty minor decisions quickly. Witness the EU response to the Ukraine crisis the US can respond overnight but the EU must consider the view of 28 governments in various stages of their own election cycles. It is a dinosaur that can only function with political unity thus the push for a single European state. Now look at the possibility of uniting 28 states and you will realise that it will take one or two very strong states to dominate to make it happen. This will breed resentment so eventually it will fail. No the European dream is just that a dream with no chance of happening so why stay and play the game? I think history will judge this as the moment that someone noticed that the emperor has no clothes. [/QUOTE]
