Europe post Maastricht .


//  If one were sceptical towards the EC-leaders and
    the EC in general, one could write something a
    long the lines of the following . As we are all
    supposed not to be ---- this should perhaps
    be considered a non existing text ---- and most
    people might prefer it to be such //


  After the french 50.95 YES to Maastricht ( and the
Brussels bureaucracy) politicians and bureaucrats
all over Europe have been elevated - Their favourite
pet ( beast to others ) is still alive. Now they 
only have to fix the 'danish' problem =
people who like freedom and aren't ecstatic with
the prospect of becoming slaves of the commission
(unlike the italians with their 95% Yes to Maastricht
according to one recent opinion poll).

  In a gesture of the new style of democracy and 
openness Kohl traveled to Paris and had
discussions with Mitterand ( behind closed doors ) .
  Major traveled to Paris and talked with Mitterand
(behind closed doors ).
  The danish primeminister traveled to London 
and had talks with Major ( behind closed doors ) :-) :-)  .

  Nevertheless rumours have it  , that the discussions
are on openness and democracy in Governments & the
Commission  [ Telling the public , what the commission 
is up to next, is like inviting the IRA according to 
MP E.Heath, so it must be hot ].
  Also an issue is how to improve the image of
the EC of being a club of old men , who talks
behind closed doors and cares more about good clarets
than the people . But thats probably wrong :-) 

  Later this year the danish people is expected
to be trapped in a Maastricht II contraption --
which will in effect be like Maastricht l , but will
have some words thrown in about democracy and freedom...
Just to humour the Vikings up north . According
to the politicians then all Europes problems will
be solved :-)

  And then all the nasty voters were heard from nomore.
But then  -- we ( the voters ) had fun this
summer hadn't we ?

ps.
  Greece , Portugal & Spain were enlisted into dictatorships
way into the 70'es . Italy is still a de' facto one party
state ( including massive corruption into the government ).
Further we have Belgium & Holland with apparently no
will of their own - except to follow.
  So perhaps it should come as no surprise that democracy
have so little space in the EC.
  The conclusion ought to be that Denmark should 'solve'
the problem by removing itself from that list of nations
and join its fellow scandinavian countries in a quest for
freedom and democracy.
  To the free french --- one can only say : we salute you
and hope for better times.

  About Bush's new world order : One could imagine a free
world led by the US with Scandinavia (and perhaps Britain)
as associates contra the states who believe in
bureaucracy and enslavement under Brussels .


  Otherwise the EC (and EC-leaders) have to begin living
in the real world . Meaning :
                  
            No commission.
            A credible EC-parliament.
            All european states included in the EU.
            No dreams of aggression towards any
             states outside the EC ( wrapped in words
             like 'humanitarian-help' or similar Orwellian
             new talk).
            And a pay_back_plan for Italy , so that
             the country doesnt end like Yugoslavia , when
             economic reality in the EU dawns on its
             citizens.
                  
  But I will not be so naive to expect anything good
coming from people like Delors & Mitterand . So instead
I guess ,- its prepare for confrontation.
