Purveyor of fine nonsense
I used to be very much in support of our membership of the EU, but the way things are at the moment, I am becoming increasingly cynical!
My reasoning is:
a) In regard of the Euro crisis, the Europeans have shown just how good they are at dithering and how bad they are at making decisions.
b) Brussels seems to be becoming more and more dictatorial; passing EU-wide laws and directives that the people of the member countries seem to have no say in whatsoever.
c) Greece et. al. should never have been allowed into the Euro in the first place. I reckon it was a purely political decision to let them in.
Now, if they can sort out the Euro and completely re-vamp the way the EU Parliament works, I'm all for it!
I know a good few Germans and I have spent a fair amount of time in Germany, and it seems that right now the German people are incredibly pissed off with the EU, they feel they have no voice whatsoever, and when it comes to Greece, I think it's fair to say that they want almost want blood!
