Merkel and Sarkozy: their plans to turn Europe into a Greater Germany - Mail Online - Euroseptic: Mary Ellen Synon in Brussels: "I'm at the European Council meeting, and just out from a press briefing by Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy. It was meant to be an explanation of the 'grand bargain' the two are right now presenting over lunch to the other 25 heads of state and government. The 'bargain' is a deal all about how the eurozone is going to make itself competitive by means of a centralised European economic government.

Pause for a moment and think about how ludicrous that idea is. The individual eurozone countries have all either blasted apart their banking systems or destroyed their countries with debt, or both. Yet it is from these same economically-idiotic countries that the new centralised economic government will be drawn: somehow the 'magic' of 'more Europe' is meant to turn the politicans and bureaucrats of these nations, all of them proven incompetents, into round-eyed versions of Hong Kong dynamos.

The German chancellor assured us all that in her plan the role of the other eurozone states was to decided which member states had best practice in economic matters and then agree to impose that same 'best practice' across the eurozone."
