Gripped by protests and crisis, EU nations are being forced to fend for themselves. It is time to go back to the drawing board, before it is too late, believes Nirj Deva, MEP, UK Conservative Party. ­He says the entire construct of the European Union is becoming unmanageable."The construct is incapable of meeting the challenges of the 21st Century. It was constructed after the war - Churchill's 'Empires of the Mind' in a single European space. It was constructed to prevent a major war in the Continental Europe by locking Germany, France and all the other countries into single space with settled values - democratic, pluralistic - diverse, but accountable values," Deva told RT. "Now it needs a new construct to be able to work in cooperation with Russia, with primary energy producers and suppliers, to work as a good neighbor in areas such as Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and so on. We need therefore a much more flexible construct," he added.

1. I believe the man is quite wrong..........
in several things. One does say that california is doing well, but Georgia isn't doing well at all and Texas is living somewhere else, because it is true there. It's true in Canada as well. There are inequalities and stupidities in any system, including the European Union. Germany is doing very well because they haven't destroyed their manufacturing base, and the farming community should be concentrating on food instead of tobacco.....greek tobacco is rancid! The idea is to bring those inequities and stupidities to light, and fix them.....not to destroy the entire construct.
