More events are arguably taking house on the continental side of the channel. Nicola Sturgeon is a Scottish nationalist prime number minister, a proud feminist, as well as a left-wing demagogue screaming close "austerity" inward ways that resemble folks similar Alexis Tsipras. The introduction of an independent Scotland to European Union could live similar to inviting to a greater extent than or less other Hellenic Republic – fifty-fifty though it would live merely a softcore Greece. I estimate that an independent Scotland would live far less fiscally responsible than the Britain has been. Thankfully, the feminist was snubbed yesteryear everybody today.
Jean-Claude Juncker safely (5-to-1) survived the attempts inward the European Parliament to withdraw him. It's lamentable as well as emphasizes the similarity of the European Union to the USSR.
Meanwhile, the Visegrád Four (PL+HU+SK+CZ, the electrical flow president of V4) met inward Prague as well as Breitbart.com wrote the sexiest study from that meeting:
Visegrád Countries Slam EU, Call For Dramatic ChangesIt's based on an Euractiv story which is less exciting as well as that storey was based on to a greater extent than or less fifty-fifty to a greater extent than tedious documents released yesteryear the Visegrád Group.
It's refreshing to regard that the "Visegrád identity" starts to affair a niggling bit. There seems to live a vox of sanity coming from these 4 countries of ours. The Express describes these minor proposals equally a "big revolt" that has fractured the EU, according to a map. ;-)
Franco joined our challenger coming together against the Axis Powers. ;-)
V4 prime number ministers ultimately decided non to demand Juncker's dismissal – they knew that it would live a losing game, anyway. So the opinions of the unusual ministers of Poland as well as Czech Republic that Juncker represents everything that is incorrect alongside the European Union remained their personal opinion.
But V4 leaders appear to handgrip that something is incorrect alongside the European Union as well as a reform is needed:
The genuine concerns of our citizens demand to live improve reflected. National parliaments stimulate got to live heard. The institutions of the European Union demand to stick to their missions as well as mandates. Trust also needs to live fostered amid fellow member states, starting alongside overcoming the artificial as well as unnecessary dividing lines nosotros stimulate got seen emerging inward yesteryear few months.Well, I endorse these statements although they audio to a greater extent than peaceful than they could. But the content doesn't differ besides much from the content of petitions against the communist regime sometime inward 1989, presently earlier the autumn of communism. They're maxim something that pretty much everyone agreed with. The people as well as nations aren't existence listened to. The leadership became untrustworthy for besides large a pct of the citizens of the European Union fellow member states.
The trust needs to live restored as well as the European Union Commission should live less power-thirsty. It should solely produce things that it's supposed to produce as well as avoid things that should live done yesteryear private nations, peculiarly those that are deeply divisive.
Also, the V4 grouping proposes a dissimilar sort of a leadership of the European Union inward the negotiations alongside the Britain Juncker's committee wants to produce these things. V4 proposes that the negotiations should live led yesteryear the European Council as well as its boss, Donald Tusk – who is the closest to the "formal president of the European Union".
Note that fifty-fifty the Polish side has endorsed this catch although Donald Tusk is a "major internal political foe" of the Law as well as Justice political party of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the political party that controls the authorities inward Poland correct now. But they yet appear to believe that Tusk would produce a fairer project than Juncker as well as his pals. Well, Kaczynski himself blames Tusk for most things but at to the lowest degree Szydlo didn't interruption the V4 unity.
It's real clear what's going on. Juncker leads the actual "executive branch" of the European Union authorities – if nosotros compare the European Union to a country. It's this Juncker's committee that is responsible for this mindless, non-democratic overintegration, overregularion, as well as overcentralization, non to advert the intentional Islamization of Europe as well as the larn by against the climate change, if I stimulate got to pick 2 specific insanities. Donald Tusk is non doing much as well as inward this case, doing almost zilch is the preferred choice. That's why Tusk is manifestly to a greater extent than acceptable.
In most practical questions, there's no difference. Both Juncker as well as Tusk insanely insist on the gratis crusade of people equally a measure for the Britain to stay inward the free-trade zone. These European Union apparatchiks are absolutely irresponsible. The Britain may real good say "No" as well as the losses on both sides would live huge.
Before the Velvet Revolution, the Czech populace had a similar feeling close dissimilar parts of the communist authorities as well as the people inward it. Sometime inward 1987, President Gustáv Husák lost his leadership inward the Czechoslovak Communist Party but kept the presidency. Even though Miloš Jakeš was seemingly picked equally the novel boss of the communist political party to Pb the perestroika process, it was widely appreciated that he was 1 of the classic old-fashioned neo-Stalinist cadres spell Husák himself was to a greater extent than decent as well as compatible alongside the basis (after all, other communists kept Husák inward prison theatre as well as wanted to arrest him sometime inward the 1950s). Also, the Czechoslovak prime number government minister Štrougal was considered a flake to a greater extent than opened upwards towards actual reforms.
So Juncker is clearly analogous to Miloš Jakeš spell Donald Tusk could live a Štrougal or at to the lowest degree Husák which is yet pretty bad but a flake to a greater extent than acceptable. ;-)
Needless to say, I remember that the European Union should kindly inquire Václav Klaus to Pb the divorce procedure on behalf of the EU. He may live the human alongside the best tape inward the mankind's history inward a shine separation of a territory. There's genuinely a nonzero probability that the Slovak European Union presidency that volition start on Fri volition attempt give this project to Klaus. But let's non live besides optimistic. The European Union presidency is mainly a project for secretaries as well as their java machines. The actual might is elsewhere. But Bratislava volition host a September 16th summit on the hereafter of the EU (without the U.K.) then nosotros may live pleasantly surprised.
Aside from the unity, 1 may yet regard numerous vastly dissimilar reactions coming from V4, too. For example, Poland indicated that it wanted to speed upwards their entry to the Eurozone. Everyone inward Czech Republic seems to say that there's no argue for us to produce such a thing.
BTW: Nigel Farage gave a prissy speech communication inward the European Parliament yesterday. The Parliament has shown it's almost total of young ruminants who stimulate got never done a useful thing inward their life as well as don't intend to produce then inward the future, either.
