By the way, just in case anyone is remotely interested, the view from this side of the pond is that Europe is an econimic basket case, and poses a major threat to economic recovery in North America.

Eric, that hits the nail squarely on the head.
Our politicians are not listening, have not listened(to the concerns of the electorate) will not listen....and the EU do not understand anything at all about democratic process...if they did, then those nations who voted against the last treaty would not have been sent back to vote again until they came up with the vote that was acceptable to the EU.
We do not want to have our identity diluted, ignored or otherwise messed with, especially by those who were (in the past) our enemies.
There are other nations in the EU who are saying that, in essence, what DC is saying is right.
