#1 That would be sweet if the failed constitution resulted in the death of the CAP. Also note Merkel's support of Britain's position.

Fog in Euroland, France isolated!

#2 This can occur when one intends to be the USA of Europe, or least an integrated entity, instead of the more realistic super-confederatist, super-neutralist Cantons of Switzerland, etc, AND NO D* *** BIKINI TEAM TO BOOT. If one wants the AL BUNDYS, etal. of Europe to like and fight and die for the concept of an integrated "EU", you gotta give them something to wanna fight and die with, and fight and die for!? Don't be putting the cart before the horse like the USSR and now North Korea, wanting a Nation of engineers and specialists at the expense of degrading farmers - you know, the ones whom till and grow the foods that everyone, from the lowliest People's Soviet Waffen SS soldier to the Great Leader himself, survives off of. SO now all the educated Norkie bureaucrats and army units are out getting their hands dirty trying to feed themselves.

#3 Let's hope our days of propping up fat, corrupt, inbred, gauloise smoking, port-blockading French farmers are over. Good news from the continent for once.

#7 If they really want to be a united country they should consolidate the national banks and the debt and take it all out of the control of the various nation-states. Just as Alexander Hamilton did.

They won't do that because control of your economy is control of your future, even if your economists are idiots.
