For Some, The EU Is Not Ambitious Enough: The Ultimate Goal Is One World Government
For 70 years, a quixotic organisation called Federal Union has been campaigning for a worldwide confederation. There is a whiff of benign 1930s dottiness about its campaign: of handbills and sandals, Esperanto and vegetarianism, decimalisation and naturism. You can’t help warming to people whose only real complaint against the EU is that it is insufficiently ambitious, and that regional blocs are a potential obstacle to global administration. Anyway, Federal Union has taken issue with my contention that we should not have supported unwise banks with taxpayers’ money. Iceland, I pointed out, had been unable to bail out its financiers and, while paper fortunes there were wiped out in consequence, nothing in the real economy has changed very much. Crops are growing, wheels turn in factories, traffic lights change, shops open. Indeed, when you look at the government’s total liabilities, Iceland is in a far happier situation than the countries which assumed their banks’ debts. Which perhaps explains why Reykjavik looks and feels so counter-intuitively prosperous.
