I think the paper has accurately described the situation, but I think their solution is no more than tilting at (wind-blown (!)) windmills. The EU cannot stand with the heterogeneity extant among 27 nations of too-different culture and mutual baggage, or among 17 euro-zone nations with the same too-much heterogeneity and baggage.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-44968707890217058262011-11-18T11:13:34.651-05:002011-11-18T11:13:34.651-05:00I don't know about 'spitting into the wind...I don't know about 'spitting into the wind'; I think he's putting down a marker. You're right about how the EU has operated, but the collapse of the Euro offers an opportunity to reassert democratic legitimacy. That's the real focus of his remarks here.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-55843907518545738052011-11-18T10:47:49.944-05:002011-11-18T10:47:49.944-05:00Daniel Hannan is another MEP who says his piece in...Daniel Hannan is another MEP who says his piece in clear, unequivocal terms--and is equally correct in my poor, dumb, conservative mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGKkfKhbrDM&feature=related , for example.<br /><br />As to Mr Farage's beef about referenda, he's spitting into the wind, as I'm sure he knows full well. This is, after all, the same gang that, when France and The Netherlands--via those evil referenda (which is likely why the EU was so fearful of a Greek referendum or an Italian election)--rejected the then EU Constitution that was under proposal, went ahead, anyway: it's why the EU has no Constitution, but a collection of opaque Treaties of Lisbon, agreed to by governments and not by the people.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.com
