It got better - the Greek PM suggested the other week he would like to ask the people whether they would like to have 10+ years of hardship paying back unaffordable debts to German banks, or indeed if they would rather not. He was removed by the EU within 72 hours.

Same for Italy too.

"European Democracy" is becoming like "Military Intelligence", a contradiction in terms.
