#1  So, the Phlegm's are finally loosening up and coming out, huh?
(I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.)

#2  Looks like that EU nobel prize is even more stupid now.

Fighting nationalism with supernationalism just makes nationalism even more militant.

#3  My take is more conspiratorial. The more the "countries" of the EU break up into regions, the easier for the total assertion of control by the EU.

This goes along with the Northern Italians, Basque and Catalonian in Spain, Wales and Scotland etc.

My guess is that within 20 years there will be only one sovereign in Europe, and it won't be a democratic one.

#4  London is repor providing authorization + funding [L$1.0Milyuhn] for the Scottish independence referendum only iff the same is held on or by October 2014 = Fall 2014.

See CHINA DAILY FORUM > SCOTS' INDEPENDENCE DEAL TO BE FINALIZED.

Meanwhile, "Argo" Fans ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Russia Today] SWITZERLAND IN PREPARATION FOR EUROPEAN [EuroUnion = EU] MELTDOWN. Military threats as well as per post-Collapse Migration = Econ Refugees.

The Swiss are not coming, the Swiss are not coming - 'tis the EU instead!

* SAME > EUROZONE UNEMPLOYMENT AT FRESH HIGH.

* WORLD NEWS > [IMF Managing Director Christine -] LAGARDE WARNS OF "WARTIME" [style] DEBT LEVELS, that can detrimentally affect "advanced economies".

Greater economic interdependency, fiscal nitegration needed.

IIUC, what Christine is trying hard NOT to say is that our future OWG-NWO + proposed OWG "Global Federal Unions" NEEDS MORE STATE(S) CHAOS, ANARCHIES + MORASS, as one way to induce OWG "Global Gederal Unions", Regional, Trans-, Continetal e.g. EU + NAU, etc. + HIGHER is via FORCED INTER/MULTI-STATE DEPENDENCIES FOR SURVIVAL + QUALITY-OF-LIFE.

THE MORE + LONGER ECON RECESSION, DEPRESSION, STAGFLATION + STAGCESSION, ETC. THE BETTER FOR OUR FUTURE OWG THAT NO AMERICAN = AMERIKAN HAS YET VOTED FOR, NOR WILL BE EVAR! IFF POLS HAVE A CHOICE.

SUFFER MORE THE CHILDREN, FOR STARFLEET COMMAND + EARTH FEDERATION.

D *** NG IT, WON'T ANYONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN - YOU KNOW, STARFLEET COMMAND!

Montenegro rulers set to keep power in election
But I think we all saw this coming...
PODGORICA: Montenegrins voted in a parliamentary election on Sunday that could extend the 23-year hold on power for the ruling party and its leader, Milo Djukanovic, despite economic stagnation and widespread accusations of high-level corruption.

The winner will oversee the ex-Yugoslav republic’s talks on joining the European Union. After Croatia, due to join next July, Montenegro is the only Balkan state that could become an EU member by the end of this decade.

Djukanovic’s Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) remains popular despite economic woes for having championed the independence of the country of 680,000 people six years ago from a rump Yugoslavia union with Serbia. A victory would return to power the 50-year old Djukanovic, prime minister or president for all but two years in the last two decades. Italian prosecutors had accused him of involvement in massive cigarette smuggling during Yugoslavia’s international isolation in the 1990s but he was cleared of all charges.

Looking confident and upbeat after casting his ballot in downtown Podgorica, the capital, Djukanovic said he was “calm and optimistic” about the outcome of the election.

“Tomorrow we will talk about who will do what to contribute to the best interest of Montenegro,” he told reporters.

He also dismissed the corruption allegations levelled by the opposition: “T h ey have been aiming at the same target for two decades, and every time it ended in a fiasco.”

Opinion polls suggest a DPS-dominated alliance was likely to win 47 percent of the vote, versus 24 percent for its nearest rival, the Democratic Front opposition alliance.
The DPS’s credentials have been further bolstered by the EU’s decision to open accession talks in June.

“They are more experienced and more serious than others and I hope they will bring us prosperity,” said retiree Dimitrije Mitrovic, 62, who voted for the DPS.

The only question was whether the ruling party would need the support of parliamentary deputies from ethnic minority parties to form a government, said Zlatko Vujovic of CEMI, a non-government group that will monitor the ballot.
