People are born and die. A large proportion of the people who voted in 1975 are dead now and a large proportion of today's electorate weren't even alive back then or certainly were unable to vote. I was only 1 year old then. Your argument is just as valid as saying that Scotland wants a Catholic king to rule Britain. History check mate? Contrived argument from history more like.
Oh don't get me wrong, Reddit is still very retarded.

Or try to have an informed opinion? First, calling Italy, Greece or Spain third world countries is a bit of a stretch, and that's putting it mildly. Secondly, what Italy has in common, with the others is beyond me in terms of economics. Italy is doing pretty well right now, after they did away with Berlusconi. Third, Greece resorted to forgery when joining the Euro zone. They weren't in any way, shape or form ready to take that step and didn't meet the requirements. Apart from the fact that the biggest earners, the ship owners, are still tax exempt, which certainly doesn't help matters. And apart from the fact that Greece still supports and supplies one of the biggest armies in Europe. These are all homemade problems. The EU had nothing to do with that domestic clusterfuck. What's up for debate are the austerity measures, which hurt the common population the most. But they are only a reaction to preexisting problems. Probably the wrong reaction, but that's as far as EU involvement goes. If the EU hadn't pumped money in, they would already declared bankrupcy, since they couldn't pay their bills anymore. It's also about forggetting 2008 and the ensuing problems. From which the economy still hasn't recovered. In short, the lower orifice is never the best to analyse matters. |
