#2 TGA, looks like the Non and Nee voters will finally achieve for German exporters what the incompetent ECB could not: a sane and low-priced euro.

Was it all a Schroderian plot?

#7 Latest polls would give Merkel an absolute majority...
Her popularity went up 10% in a few days.
Together with the Liberals (free market) fall sounds promising.

#8 Is that 10% mainly shift or lift, TGA? ie pro-free market forces shifting from the Liberals to Merkel, or new converts to the free market approach?

#9 I don't really care what they do, kind of dislike big govt. myself though.

#10 No, most are Schröder defectors, the Liberals (classic sense) always hover around 7%.

#11 Hey, TGA, my aunt (father's sister) married a Schroeder...

I have a cousin I don't like. The operative for me has always been, "WHAT is a Schroeder?"... Now that question can be applied to international politix...

#13 Italy is one of those countries that benefitted most from the Euro Thats debateable. Their economy is shrinking becase they can no longer devalue to maintain competitiveness. When and if they institute the reforms needed to remove the inflationary pressures it will be good news, until then its bad news.
