And in Italy, some plan has been suggested to
reintroduce the Italian Lire again, to fight their weak economy or
whatever.
The economy will be in better shape if they would let their corrupt
little souls be a little bit less corrupt. Dare I mention the
whole banking fiasco and which ABN AMRO may now buy after all?
This will mean a huge improvement for Italy already.
And it is clear that the average civilian in the EU is barely
committed to the EU as a whole. And why not? Things haven't really
improved in the Netherlands after the Euro was introduced. The
constitution doesn't promise more improvements either. Not for the
Netherlands, at least. It just means that we lose more control about
our own country. And that is unacceptable for me.
The draft for a constitution was anything but a constitution. The
people from the Renaissance would've wiped their collective butt with
it.
Anyway, I feel connected to Europe, but the strength lies in utilising
the various differences of the people, there's no common 'European'.
Of course, the Netherlands will now be one of the EU countries paying
the most contribution per capita to the EU to get the other member
states up to par on economical level. Wonder if it will help in
the end.
