I see their point.

Wot he said, they will be encouraged to vote correctly this time. I tell you, this democracy thing really stuffs the smooth running of the EU up, I can see why they are working to make it irrelavent, much better (for them) that way

I've said before rather tham getting rid of the weak countries, remove the strong ones.

If the weak ones have to keep up with Germany they've got no chance. Get Germany out and it takes the pressure of the weak.

On the other hand, the sooner Greece goes back to Dracma (sp) the better for Greece. We'll all be buying property there and going on holiday there as everything will be dirt cheap for us brits. No more 5 Euro a pint.

So really, the ealier they give the lot up the better.

The Germans are nothing if not very well organised and covering every angle.

Yes but they have to appear to be democratic at the first try.

Once they can abolish voting altogether as being "irrelevant" in a modern world than they can sit back and relax of course!
