The EU dream, how much longer until it's dead?
The politicians and bureaucrats had a dream of a united Europe, much along thhe lines of America. Today that dream is is further away than they imagines and getting further away very day.
It was sold to the populations of each country as a Europe without boundaries, no trade barriers, easy movement from country to country and a few other benefits. While the politicians and bureaucrats set up committees and boards who churned out legislation as fast as the printers could print it. some that some countries ignored completely, some that were an open door for criminals to exploit and much a total waste of time. Many of these new laws took power away from elected Governments.
Then they set up a single currency and the legislation makers chose to ignore making legislations. Leaving it to elected Governments to decide how much to borrow and spend. Today we have laws on the ingredients of a sausage in the EU and not on how much debt a country can incur and pass onto the EU.
Debt that has stuck the pin of reality into the dream of an United EU.
The problem is fundamental. They wanted a United States of Europe. The people voting for them want to be German, French, British, Spanish, etc.
