time for some european politics

[Occhidiangela]

Constitutional politics are a maelstrom at the best of times... we know all about it in Canada.  I can't imagine that even a majority of the 25 members countries of the EU, with all of their ethnic ties and identity concerns, will be satisfied with any one version anytime in the near future.  I suppose that only time will tell..

I want to know why a Constitution is necessary? A series of agreements has been reached that both preserve identity and join a lot of common threads, particularly the euro move.

Does Europe really need "one government." It will not, contrary to the hype from EU bureaucrats, simplify anything, but will instead empower bureaucrats, AKA Mandarins in China.

Is this the Mandarins of Europe making a grab for more power.

Yes. I've met a few, I know whereof I speak.
