| There is a huge difference between what in the ‘70s was the EEC that Britain , willingly or unwilling, joined and the EU. countries that belonged to the EEC were few, they all enjoyed a period of economic prosperity and certain political stability, because of this immigration was manageable, could be easily absorbed and integration was not really a problem. The problems that we have now with the EU is not longer based on economic drive but a political one: a confederate Europe determined not on the will of the people of each nation that now belong to it but on that of some politicians, especially German ones, and those non elected and non accountable eurocrats in Bruxelles. It reminds me in a way of a sentence pronounced by General Badoglio following the unification of Italy. We have unified Italy, we now need to unify the Italians. Therefore real unification must come from popular consensus. How many of those countries that now belong to the EU have asked their subjects whether they wanted to join the EU either politically or monetary? Most importantly how many of those countries really had the right requisites as demanded by the EU entry qualifications rules in order for this country to join the Euro? Hardly any of the east European block or Italy, Spain, Ireland Portugal or Greece - and yet by bending the rules they have all got the Euro now and the population of majority of them are now suffering and are worst off than they were before joining. I have seen what the grand European project has done to my friends and extended family in Italy or to Italy itself. I certainly don’t want to see it happening here. |
