The problems range from the single currency through lack of democratic accountability to sovereignty. Coupled with which governments are inherently inefficient and wasteful adding another layer to already to large domestic government just compounds that waste and inefficiency.That answer is to dismantle the EU in it's entirety and start again. Of course that is not going to happen as there is no political or popular will for that to take place. Most do not recognize the true causes only the symptoms and are only prepared to treat the symptoms and will continue to do so unto death. The demise of the EU is now inevitable as those in charge have no intention of changing direction or addressing causes. It is only when that demise occurs can Europeans start to build a new EU that is fit for purpose supposing that there is anything left with which to build from.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
