My opinion, exactly. I'm slightly less harsh regarding Germany though.
The biggest problem of Europe is probably that it's unfinished. Now, its institutions should be completed quickly to prevent further degradation of the situation on the markets (or, let's hope an improvement) but that's going to be very difficult.
I'm also concerned that, because of the current situation, the UK will never be willing stand at the core of Europe. And in my opinion, it's very much needed.
- non123 15y agoI rather not have the UK as part of the core of Europe. They have a very original idea of what it means to be in the EU. Treaties, policies, this and that for everybody else but I'm going to opt out. Thank you, but no thank you.
- toyg 15y agoQuoting Sir Humphrey: "Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last five hundred years: to create a disunited Europe. In that cause we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, with the French and Italians against the Germans, and with the French against the Germans and Italians. Divide and rule, you see. Why should we change now, when it's worked so well?"
