I'm not sure if european superstatehood is a socialist dream Pete. I
mean, Ken Clarke is fiercely pro-european and he's a tory!
No - I'm sure the supporters of such a Frankenstein's monster can't be
slotted easily into any pre-existing political groups. I prefer simply
to call them 'nutjobs'.
Calling the last rites on 'ever closer union' might be a tad premature
though. Germany could end this crisis tomorrow by officially putting
countries like Spain and Greece on its payroll and underwriting their
debt. It would mean however that Hitler's dream of a German dominated
europe would be realised more than 67 years after the last nazi forces
withdrew from the occupied zones. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.
I'd sooner see Europe go bankrupt.
