@anandMenon1 @KeohaneDan @quatremer @cjbickerton @HelenHet20 If the position is that there isn't really a problem with Italy's public debt and that letting it grow with no signs of stopping will have no negative impact on the euro, then yeah, I suppose criticising the current situation is rather easy
@anandMenon1 @KeohaneDan @quatremer I actually agree that there's an essential tension between democratic governance and having a European economy that actually works and isn't sent into crisis by the actions of one state. But the point is that there is a tension, not that these rules are completely unnecessary.
@anandMenon1 @KeohaneDan @quatremer Criticise the technocratic regime, be my guest. But be honest about the alternatives:
- Ditching the rules and quickly hitting a new crisis
- Choosing to reverse integration and economic benefits
- Federalism as the only route to real democratic governance of a European economy
