Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The question about France is: should it be part of the NEURO or the SEURO? Economically, it should be part of the NEURO. Politically, it is impossible: any political party or leader proposing to join the SEURO would be disavowed by the voters.

I'm not sure I agree economically France can actually be in the Neuro. Its economic structure is not that of a surplus country.

It is the delusion that France belongs economically with Germany that makes it politically impossible domestically for France in the Seuro.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman

Sorry, it is a typo. I think that, economically, France belongs to a SEURO.
