Random question of the day

Former Member

For no particular reason other than to tax your brains on a monday morning I was wondering this:

If you had the chance to debate all things Europe (EU etc) with those supposedly in the know (Politicians etc) what sort of things would you ask them (and why)?

What are you plotting, Susie? You've acquired a sudden interest in politics all of a sudden....... you guys worry me.

Former Member

I don't know what you're talking about, I was simply asking a random question

Former Member

It depends on who it was.

But I'd like to know what's in it for us?

Why the Euro is a "good thing"

How does moving from Brussels to Strasborg enhance the Parliament.

Is a loss of democratic accountability a price worth paying.

But other questions depend on responses...

Former Member

I probably know more about the EU than most politicians:>

But yeah, Id like to know why the Euro is good, And I dont want the answer that it means I can go on my hollibobs without havign to change money.

Former Member

You would be better asking an economist about the Euro (depends if you bleieve in the political aspects as well I suppose)

I would like to know (ala Mok) what they think the best system for a European parliament would be and how far they think we should go with integration.

PS, I don't think we have lost anythinh other than the tiniest fraction of democratic accountability.......

Can I just add that before the almighty EU rep arrives I would like to lose the "Dirty Old Man" title above my icon - which is incidentally a picture of yours truly.

I'm a little concerned that paedophile phobis may head my way, especially as I work with paediatricians and we all know how NotW readers get those long words muddled.

I'm sure the others around here have a few suggestions of what it should read. Answers on a postcard please to:

I would ask them if the EU had the capabilities of becomming a military superpower with the same capabilities as the US would it lead to a nuclear arms race with the US as this happened between the US and the former USSR in the Cold War?

I'm just interested to know because the EU is a superpower in terms of size and economy etc, I just wanted to know the consequences of having bipolarity with relation to nuclear proliferation.

Mok you look oddly purple in that photo, rather like one of the Ribena berries.........:crazyeyes

Yeah, I'd been eating some of that new Wonka Chewing Gum. It was alright until I got to the Blueberry...

I would ask the European Politicians why they believe democracy should be brought to Iraq when they do not even practice it in their own countries.
