Batting Now The Dutch
well now stepping into the box are the dutch who unless a major upset is somehow accomplished look set to add an additional nail to the coffin for the entity known as the 'european state'.
speaking to a biz associate of mine yesterday in latvia, he said his feeling is that the 'western eu states' are not ready to share power with their eastern brethren, right or wrong this is how some are perceiving it in latvia he went on to say.
he added that it could almost be looked upon as a conspiracy by the 'western eu states'...........that what they did was get the eastern brethren to agree to tidy up and make some economic reforms in order to make labor and goods on a scale that is equal throughout europe, thus slowing down the development of the eastern states while the western ones continued to plow along and fix cracks as they appeared giving them a chance to compete when selling goods. AND now that the eastern states have committed to these economic austerity moves the western states are no longer compelled to go the full distance and actually share power with the eastern ones because the west as alluded to above wants to continue to hold onto its domain.
just a voice from the wilderness perhaps....
UPDATED TONIGHT........
will the last country leaving the eu dream behind please close the door? it is getting cold in here.
the dutch it appears have voted 63 % no, 37% yes according to exit polls just released - thus putting a very solid nail in this political dream which will in fact have large economic effect.
what strikes me most is the almost drugged looks of the victors who make up a rather odd looking mish-mash of folk. somehow in their excitement they fail to understand that all that they think they are voting against will actually be things they long for within a few years time......
this after they realize the ramifications of being part of a largely disjointed malfunctioning vehicle that can no longer get them anyplace.
well to each there own, and alone they all shall be.
the u.s. and china are the real victors here........
i wonder when tony blair is going to decide to somehow put off the brit vote on passing the constitution?
look for the brit press now to begin asking blair about this as they are egged on by the conservatives who know full well that this is additional ammo and will only make the labor govt in britain weaker.
all we need now is some wavering by the brits on voting about the constitution and a rather big defeat for the current leadership in germany this coming fall and a conservative victory there .....and then things will have sunk about as low as they can go for the eu as a political entity.........and maybe from the trash heap someone will arise and speak with common sense.
but then again it says somewhere that the messiah will come from the middle east........hmmmmmmmm.
