CAP is truely abhorrent. And if the western countries really want Africa to prosper, they would get rid of it. If the farmers would become more efficient, then it also would not be needed. However, the US would never remove their subsidies...like cheap rice which is exported to poor african countries. So its a chicken an egg thing.
Within each union there are always some power brokers. take Canada for example..ontario and quebec run the show. But overall its a fantastic union.
Natural resources will always be a touchy issue..I don't know enough about it to comment. But if a state is not following the rules it should face a financial penalty. But that would require a strong EU centralised government...which we all vote for..like in other unions. We don't have that right now do we?
The UK could do more - euro adoption would be one step. It does seem odd that out of the three big states of europe..the UK hasn't adopted it. But I know how you all love your sterling...McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

The reason that we have Sterling is because it enables us to manage our own economy as we wish, and that we can set our economic conditions to suite ourselves rateher than those of the whole of the EU.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
