Well aware of the Masstricht treaty and I've made the point that the situation we find ourselves in was arrived at with the help of certain of our own leaders. Neither side of the political divide has had the monopoly on mistakes and/or misleading the electorate when it comes to the EEC and EU.

Britain has little or no say over decisions made in a European Union increasingly dominated by German interests, Iceland’s prime minister has said.
A leader of non-EU member state, Iceland’s Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson warned larger member states like the UK wield “diminishing power” in institutions still under the sway of the Franco-German alliance.
“When it comes to the big stuff the decisions are made by two, and increasingly one country” Mr Gunnlaugsson told The Telegraph.
“Others are called to meetings to approve of what has been decided, if not in the afternoon then during the middle of the night.

The resistance to rising wages led to German growth, self-confidence and, as a result, power. When Angela Merkel travels to Brussels, she does so as the leader of by far the strongest economy in the euro zone. Policies she doesn't agree with don't get passed. Power as such isn't a bad thing when those that have it use it wisely. But do they?
