As the world holds it breath for the Franco-German solution to the Euro crisis, you'd be forgiven for thinking these countries were the only ones in Euroland. Well,in a sense they are. The only ones that matter that is.
Any sense that this is a democratic club involving all member-states has fallen away, and the true power structures in Euroland are obvious. The fates of all members of the Eurozone lie in these two countries hands. The rest of us haven't even a look-in. Like the rest of the world we have to wait and see what they say. As a one-time committed European, I'm now in the ranks of the Euro-sceptics. I'm not sure I want this kind of club at all. Thoughts anyone?
