Smoke & Mirrors Democracy - Paul Nuttall MEP (UKIP)

EU summit kicks off amid strikes

­Paul Nuttall, a Member of the European Parliament from the UK Independence Party says the issue with Greece is clearly political.

"This is a political project, it is not about economics. What would make economic sense is for Greece to come out of the euro altogether and go back onto the drachma," he explained.

Nuttall also says EU leaders are playing behind people's backs trying to put through their legislations.


"This is a clear affront to democracy. European leaders are trying to bypass people in making their decisions," he said.

When asked about EU perspectives in the near future, the politician did not give an optimistic prediction.

"The tension between the countries -- particularly between the north of Europe and the south of Europe -- is only going to get greater. What you've got, is protests in the south and what we are seeing in the north is a political revolution where new parties are springing up and eurozone-skeptic parties are getting better results than ever before."

Scared aren't they. Once other countries see how easy and beneficial it is to drop out of the euro, they will follow, shame they forget Iceland so easily. Let Greece go back to Drachma, the rest of the world will flood there on holiday and within 5 years they'll be bouyant

Throwing more money at Greece creates a fiscal black hole into which all of the EU will one day fit comfortably. Unless excessive welfare states are allowed to fail, and allowed to correct their behaviors, they will continue those behaviors at the expense of everyone else.

The cost of buying votes with entitlements is the eventual failure of the monetary system and riots in the streets, fighting over what scraps remain of the Free Lunch.
