Angela Merkel is covering her tracks. She is the main person responsible for this problem, though she is now pretending it wasn't her.

I can only hope when Germany holds there general election you kick out the poison dwarf.

And what do you expect to get in exchange for her? A socialist-green or a socialist-communist coalition more to your taste? Both is possible, though the latter not too likely. But the first is one of the two dominant possibilities.

Currently I would give a coalitition of CDU and SPD the highest probability to win elections, which means a very good probability that things would move on like right now.

The liberal FDP, in coalition right now and having fallen from 18 to 2%, I have no longer on my radar. The probably fell into the gutter when jogging. They are not being missed.

There is a fundamental factor in the UK that IMHO overrides all else, regardless of whether it be political, fiscal or economic opinion and or speculation by these so called 'experts'.....

No political party in the UK has yet won a mandate to make the ultimate decision as to what the UK is going to eventually decide on the politically hot potato of the EU....and no party has the courage to make said decision without a referendum because that would be party political suicide for at least the next generation.

The only true way forward is for each party to include in their next pre-election manifesto what their clear position is and give a definitive timescale on said committment.

Let us be frank with everyone on here Sky....the Germans (or should I say Merkel) have took it upon themselves to be the panacea of all the EU ills, and for the strength of me I don't know why because I suspect the German people/taxpayers had very little say in the matter.

Mr Sarkozy has quickly jumped on the bandwagon because IMHO he has sensed Merkel may eventually be overeaching herself and that of the German people, at little or no expense to that of his own.

The sooner one or the other come to the realisation........meltdown.

I doubt many of the 'hangers on' countries are all that bothered because in the short term they gain, without little or no cost to themselves.

Croatia for the win (for example)....I'm sure they'll bail your country out when you run out of money to waste/burn LOL.

Sad really that it will probably eventually come to this.
