I think the German people would disagree with that. 10 years down the line and there is still a special "unification" tax. It has cost the prosperous "West Germany" dear. I can not see them splitting again, but the truth behind the mask is not rosy.Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

Yes, but they would still have the same problem as they have now. The institutions of the EU would not be available to them to govern their new union. They would have to implement a whole new level of parliament.Originally posted by doodab View PostI don't think their are rules covering member states merging, or an existing state splitting. It's not unprecedented or impossible for states to leave though.Just saying like.

I'm sure there are elements of discontent but overall it seems to have gone fairly well, there are still big economic disparities but there hasn't been mass civil unrest or anything like that.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I'm not sure they see that as an insurmountable problem. It would give them a chance to start over without some of the compromises of the EU, and it would keep the bureaucratic busybodies busy.Originally posted by Arturo Bassick View PostYes, but they would still have the same problem as they have now.
