So who should take over Europe/the Eurozone given it's continued crisis ?

Might it be Germany or France, or will their squabbling allow the Russians in, whilst the British assume their traditional role of tut-tutting from the sidelines.*  :)




* Just to be clearly you can't vote for the British, as it goes against our historical role, however you choose to define that. 
The only way you can choose British is by going for the all encompassing conspiracy option, where by HM QE2 and lizard friends actually rule the world.

I told you hardheaded Irish-murdering limey bastards ten years ago on EUOT to join NAFTA instead of that continental abortion, and all we would've had to do was change the stationery to "North Atlantic", but no. You laughed.
Suckers.

I'd be happy with that, and we could go with the whole, please lets us in gig again.  :)

How about a Scandinavian country? Let's see how well Scandiweenie socialism fares when the population at hand can't fit roughly into NYC.

Lots of Scandis devolve a lot of politics though.  So in most of them healthcare is universal but delivered at the level of municipality.  Similarly 'nation' Scandi income tax is very low, most of it's levied by the municipality or commune which also decides how to spend it on things like healthcare.  So Scandinavian socialism doesn't fare with a population of a Scandinavian country, that's the point.

As to the question, France.  I want a Europe that matters on the world stage, that will lead and that'll enjoy it :)
Let's bomb Russia!

According to some of the shriller comments on the Eurozone debt crisis, Germany is taking over Europe as we speak.

I'd say the end of the two-party system is more likely, since the euros would be able to keep their own constitutions for the most part.
