purr4mance: the people who have money in the market will be showing an interest especially if they haven't moved their money. and, they won't be laughing.


Yeah the smart money would be long gone, or further entrenched. Its only the tabloid newspaper crowd doing the hand-wringing so late in the script.

I think it was the Brainchild of the French,with some input from Germans!
The French probably hoping that by creating that EU would prevent Germany to be at the French's Throat again in 1970!laugh

That makes sense. France was up to a lot of no good back in those days including trying to weaken the U.S. Currency.

De Gaulle called the Dollar "America's exorbitant privilege." World currencies traded against a US dollar that had a fixed price against gold of $35 per troy ounce. Then along comes the EU when that Degualie failed.

I vote Brexit .
The immigration issue is a focal point but also , Britain can continue with free trade worldwide without the Central government in Berlin putting restrictions on our buying capacity.

There is a city in SE Ohio named after Cheshire, England. American Electric Power bought out all the residents living there around the turn of this century. Birds were reported falling out its sky dead on impact due to the AEP coal-fired Gavin power plant operating nearby there after it changed its scrubbing technology and lowered its emission stacks.

Yes they should leave !

I hope the whole rotten system collapses after it !

The idea was to have a 'European Union' not a non democratic 'United States of Europe' ruled by a select few non elected corrupt elite.
There is a big difference. anyway, not the place.. I'm off to chat to a special lady ...

Good luck Poms ;)

YEAH LOT'sa LUCK

In the 3rd quarter of 2015, Greece's national debt amounted to 171 percent of the gross domestic product. The overall EU GDP amounted to almost 14 trillion euros in 2014.




Comparison of the EU Member States
Below you find real time clocks of the national debt and the budget surplus/deficit of the member countries of the European Union (EU) under the Maastricht Treaty in percent of GDP (debt to GDP ratio, surplus/deficit to GDP ratio). According to the Maastricht Treaty, the national debt should not exceed 60.0 percent of GDP and the deficit should not exceed 3.0 percent of GDP.



European debt crisis: It's not just Greece that's drowning in debt

Wednesday 22 June 2016

With Greece drowning in debt and facing exit from the eurozone, we had a look at how the other EU countries are coping with their debt





Greece’s public debt is, unsurprisingly, the highest in the EU - standing at 177% of its GDP. Italy and Portugal are the next most indebted countries, with debts of 132% and 130% of national economic output respectively.

The smallest debts, as a proportion of GDP, were seen in Estonia, Norway and Bulgaria - all of whose government debts are below 30% of their GDP.
The United Kingdom’s debt currently accounts for 89.4% of its GDP, ninth highest in the EU.



Euro Area Government Debt to GDP 1995-2016 | Data | Chart | Calendar
Euro Area recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 90.70 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2015. Government Debt to GDP in the Euro Area averaged 75.12 percent from 1995 until 2015, reaching an all time high of 92 percent in 2014 and a record low of 64.90 percent in 2007. Government Debt to GDP in the Euro Area is reported by the Eurostat.
