Why Greece Must Leave<\/a><\/h3>\n

French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron and German Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel published\u00a0a piece in the Guardian<\/a>\u00a0last week that instantly revived our long nourished hope for the European Unholy Union to implode and be dissolved, sooner rather than later. The two gentlemen propose a \u2018radical\u2019 reform for the EU. Going a full-tard 180\u00ba against the tide of rising euroskeptism, the blindest bureaucrats in European capitals are talking about more centralization in the EU.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping that they follow up with all the energy they can muster, and that we\u2019ll hear a lot more about the \u2018reforms\u2019 being proposed. Because that will only serve to increase the resistance and skepticism. Let them try to \u2018reform\u2019 the EU. We\u2019re all for it. If only because if they do it thorough enough, referendums will be required in all 28 member nations, which all need to agree, in a unanimous approval vote.<\/p>\n

The gents know of course that that is never ever going to happen. So sneaky ways will have to be found. Something Brussels is quite experienced at. They\u2019ve shown many times they won\u2019t let a little thing like 500 million citizens get in their way. We\u2019re curious to see what they\u2019ll come up with this time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, though, the rising skepticism threatens to rule the day in many countries, and Greece is by no means the leader in the field. Germany has a rising right wing party that wants out (just wait till Merkel leaves). Marine Le Pen has vowed to take France out as soon as she gets to power, and she leads many polls. Britain\u2019s Ukip is merely the vanguard of a broad right wing UK \u2018movement\u2019 that either want out or have treaties thoroughly renegotiated.<\/p>\n
