The problem that every EU member has that relies on the Euro as its currency is that it has no control of the currency. The UK, Japan, the US, Canada, Australia, etc, all have the ability to set their own monetary policy. If they need to take out loans, sell debt, or print money, they can.

No Euro-based nation can do that.

The EU would do better under a federal system, however I doubt that would every be possible.


True, basically every poor country is damaged heavilly by the Euro while strong ones can be benefited.

Greece shouldn't have entered the Euro in the first place, we shouldn't have gotten the 2004 Olympics either, these were all fireworks by the same two political parties that have been governing this place since the 70s. You can't imagine how many scandals were happening here.

The party that's gonna (probably) win these elections is generally new. That's why people hope for something better, plus it's the first time that a leftish party is gonna rule the country. Ore any country in Europe to be exact. (correect me if I'm wrong)
