Leaders of 140 million Europeans modestly claiming to lead ‘Europe’ (some 700 million Europeans). Maybe this modesty is a new fashion? Let’s wait for Mexico to claim leadership of North America, and New Zealand of Australasia.

Let’s all take a moment to think of all the poor deluded Europeans who still think they are part of a democratic union of sovereign nations.

Two relevant quotes made previously by that bastion of democracy; Juncker

On the introduction of the euro “We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don’t understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.”

On Eurozone economic policy and democracy “We all know what to do, we just don’t know how to get re-elected after we’ve done it”

Dear Politico

Responsibility now here is a Word that Vivicious M has absolute no Idea about
She has been responsible for Total upheavel in her own Country not to Mind the Rest of Europe
With respect we will not Talk of the Loss of Life

As for Loverboy Responsibility he wouldn’t even know how to Spell it
His rating at home in France is so low now people are calling him derogeraty names to his Face
Even members of his Government but there Eyes to the Heaven’s when he opens his Mouth it sounds so False

Please

Cheers for Brexit
Allways

Last time Germany decided to take ‘responsibility’ for Europe in 1914-18 and 1939-45 it didn’t end well neither for Europe neither for Germany.
Even though last time French collaborators, that Macron decided to celebrate this year by the way, helped them a lot.

Macron is not so much Father of the Gods as sulky boyfriend.

We will resurrect the Franco-Prussian Empire.
We need no votes just obey.
We will not favour our nations. All will suffer equally.
Maybe

Steuersklav Erei The EU has a population of about 500M people, and that’s before Brexit. Also, people have to decide if they want a federal Europe where decisions are made by a central authority in Brussels voted for by everyone in the EU, or a Europe of nation states where by definition the strongest/largest nation states will have the most influence.

Phkin ell, please, who do they think is going to pay for it?

@e c. Actually it was 1914 to 1945 (non stop) because the people of Germany didn’t think the treaty was fair. Sound familiar?

@ Sherrod Tyler

Sorry but my comment responds to the headline and the emphasis of the story. Merkel and Macron are reported several times as wanting to lead ‘Europe’. Europe is much bigger than the EU. And Europe will become even bigger than the EU after Brexit.

Will the European Union now be replaced by a Franco-German Union ?
That is 31 % of the EU population will govern the other 69 % ?

They can tap from the EU budget if they comply by the strict rules.
Which is something Germany and France have not always done.

One’s a lame duck and the other only got elected because Establishment wanted to stop Le Pen at all cost and they claim to be leaders of EU.

No matter how spiteful the little Brits may get over this, for Europe it is great news. Assuming responsibility is where it all starts, and having two great leaders able to see over the limits of their national borders, brings hope to us all. There is a future ahead and there is a road to get there.
