  1. Why do I hear constantly this "printing money" argument? Since joining the Euro this practise ended because no Euro country has the option to ask the ESB to make money for them out of thin air like it was in earlier times.

  2. This happens always with populists. They tell people what they want to hear and give promisses to everyone deliverable or not. But once elected reality shines through when people begin to realize they won't or can't deliver ... potentially never could.

  3. There is no wish for making a superstate nor any plans for it. Cooperation yes, alignment yes to make things smoother but not more integration. I am closely watching American politics for years and I never thought it possible but the EU is more integrated than the US at this point.

  4. Warning: This guy is a unionst from NI. He has a lot of grievances because Brexit only made Re-unification more likely not less likely. He might even be just a troll or clone account because his account is not even a year old.

  5. I thought Brexit showed even the last idiot that this is a bad idea.

  6.  @JuanLegendre-ey9ty  Do you know why so many want to join the EU? Because they found out it is more profitable to cooperate than to compete and the EU itself loves competetion ... fair and stable competition you not get when each state can make their own rules and cheat by various means. How do we know? Well Europe tried your suggestion for over 100 years and it lead to two total destructions. The project is running for over 60 years. Do you think if it were bad for your power on the international stage or your economy to be in the EU countries would want to remain? Brexit is the best prove for this. Norway is in the Single Market but not the Customs Union they changed 60% of their laws to accomodate this arrangement. And it's working for Norway. Switzerland has a lot of treaties with the EU meaning Switzerland also want to cooperate not compete. Your rubbish belongs to the 20th century and proven false and dangerous. P.S. Don't bother to respond. Your account is not even a year old increasing the likehood of a troll or clone-account by 500%. If I had to guess I would say russia. Tell Putin to retire.

  7. Funny the current EU commissioner for Economy is Paolo Gentiloni and send from Italy's government. And someone elected the italien government I presume. And each commissioner is interrogated by and voted by the EU Parliament which is elected by you (assuming you are an EU citizen and not just a ranting Brexiteer).

  8. Without a shared currency other problems come back again like trade deficits, currency exchange rate, bindings and even currency speculation. The bigger the used currency is the harder it to speculated on it or attempt any course manipulation like the UK constantly does especially by government announcements. The Euro is already too big for worthy course changes for speculation and you would need to manipulate 3 or 4 governments to manipulate the Euro significant enough for a speculation-worthy course change.
