Brexit - The Final Solution

[alancalverd]

If the existing customs union is such a good thing, along with all the other EU institutions currently in place, why not

scrap the Commission (since we don't need any new Directives, and they haven't produced a budget that has passed audit in 50 years)

and empower the elected European Parliament (and no other body) to make policy and resolve disputes

executed by the minimum, efficient civil service directed by Ministers and answerable to that parliament and the courts?

It works for every member state, so why not for all?

Is that poetry? Free form stuff? I hate poetry. I don't even read it - one look at it, and I say: "get a proper job, you waster".

It's politics. Same criterion applies.

So your proposal is the Commissioners vote to abolish themselves?

I heard a glorious clip once from the Golden Age of broadcasting - the BBC six o'clock news from 1936 or somewhere around there, when they'd just begun and probably still took their job seriously. "And here is the news for today. There has been no news today. And now, over to the BBC Orchestra for more music from a dead German, again."

(I made that last bit up, as Fing might have suspected.)

I just woke up in front of the BBC2 story about migrants entering the EU. It seems that member states have indeed opposed the Commission on this issue, but as the Germans agreed with the Commission, the Commission won. However the Krauts, for all their faults, do have a sense of fairness, accountability and efficiency, so might be persuaded to replace the Commission with an accountable and controllable civil service. And pigs might fly - but then the first air passenger mammal was a sheep...

The Germans need at least another three million workers if they have a hope of salving their rising panic about their looming pensions crisis. And workers that can be relied upon to breed, unlike their on the whole wealthy protestant indigenous population. The insoluble problems thus being sown are not their concern, that's how fair and accountable they are - they'll be gone by the time they've inevitably grown out of control.
