Your opinion.

Though I admit that some things need to change and the local governments need to get some of the power back.

The EU was far from a mistake.
A case of a serious missmanagement and an example of what happens when an economic entity enlarges itself on political and not economic grounds. Yes to that. Reforms are heavily needed.
And a rollback. The EU was never intended to become a steping stone to the federalization of Europe and the EU parliament is a dead weight.
Keep it at free trade, free flow, no borders and one currency and lett the heads of members do the problem solving.

Total corruption, run by none elected commission. The whole setup stinks, and your boss Merkel, well, she thinks she is queen of Europe.

If that is the case, I certainly don't see Hollande as the king.

Ahem, apologies for the necromancy, but I caught the tail-end of this radio play earlier today on the World Service and I think those who like political and economic dramas might like it:
