Democratic deficit

I see that the EU has taken its first step towards replacing member countries sovereignty:
"The European Union has shown its righteous wrath by stripping Greece of its vote at a crucial meeting next month, the worst humiliation ever suffered by an EU member state. "

It's a power thing, if the EU can remove, albeit fleetingly, sovereignty from a member country then it sets a precedent.

  1. I've been promoting this gambit over in the comments section of the pieces
    by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, as well as over at Guido Romero's blog.

    Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India (plus any other Commonwealth countries that can be deemed to be successes), for they to have home rule, but one policy for defense and foreign matters, and one currency.

    Iberia, Italy, the Balkans, Romania, Georgia, the Czechs, the Slovaks, Hungary, Poland and the Baltic States to use the same template.

    Those Asian countries which are willing to be constructive members of the Alliance of Democracies.

    These three groups, or amalgams, would frankly distance ourselves from the mendacious slime that comes from Brussels.

    vote ?
