2017 is shaping up to be a very good year. Trump in the White House, a new anti-EU Prime Minister in the UK, LePenn in France and things not looking good for Merkel What if the decent people of the world took over for a while?

I can only suppose that if France left the EU that would be the end of it.

Pretty much, but in the back of their minds an awful lot of French have to be asking themselves “Who’s going to watch Germany?”. France is unique in another respect, it’s not really a northern European country, although Sweden and Scotland have drawn on French culture and alliances at various times, but it’s also not a southern European country in the way Spain Italy and Greece are. France could stand alone, but the question is whether it wants to. That would mean taking responsibility for itself.

AP is now reporting this.

Given that France’s “No” vote against the European Constitution treaty resulted in the Treaty of Lisbon not even getting a referendum, how meaningful are such promises?

Negligible, in my opinion. But we shall see. At the end of the day, a politician’s worth is determined by the number of votes they can bring to bear on national policy.

Whoa - if you think the current American anti-Trump media frenzy is intense, wait until the European media start in on this one.
