I am pleased that Schulz has made this suggestion. We have to end the veto on some, but not all, things to progress. It is in everyone’s interest as Astute has pointed out. Whether the man is deadly serious or not is not the point. He has absolutely no power at the moment. If he joins the...

Which people? The EU? We are in the EU. That means us as well as 27 others.

No he isn’t - from what he posts on here. Neither am I. I always thought I was centre right. I was in a moderate union, on the committee for Coventry and Warks, but I now own my own businesses. I have never voted labour. I always vote liberal. In Germany only in European and Municipal elections...

Yes. Bingo. As you say, you cannot have a country the size of a city using it’s veto to block something everyone else wants. Rejoice. The SDP is on your wavelength.

If Schultz gets his way... it is take it or leave it. If you don’t like it leave. It is not a veto in that sense, but an invitation to leave because of something you don’t like or want. Where is the problem?

No the truth is not out in the open. Can’t you read? Martin Schulz was the loser in the election. He has a chance to be in a coalition with Merkel ... only because the FDP dropped out. He isn’t in a coalition yet. His coalition partner hasn’t accepted his suggestion.. yet, or maybe it won’t. His...

Well you may be right on that point. There should have been more negotiations and not just the UK asking for change. Cameron put himself under a time frame and was asking for things for the UK and no one else. There is no way the EU was going to bend yet again ( after the Thatcher rebate...

No. Brexit is Brexit and is happening. Schultz does not hold any position in the EU or German government. He has put forward a proposal to his party and their annual conference. He is not the EU. He is not in government. So, wait and see is the sensible thing to do. I predicted a screw up with...

Cov City had it’s most exciting times ( arguably;-)) in the sixties when the whole city was doing well. I’ve got to believe that there will be some spin off, even it is the feel good factor of things happening and Coventry being in the limelight. That promotes identity with the city and maybe...

Great news! Something going the right way in the city!

Good. They elected their parliament. It’s parliament’s job to look after their interests. Look what happened with our referendum. A total and utter mess. Completely planless. Pity parliament didn’t debate the case for and against based on evidence. Then we could elect a new government if they...

Well yes. But, it is only Schultz. The coalition has not been agreed yet, and may not even happen. The 26 other interested parties, i.e. the member countries, have not had a chance to air their views. You are jumping up and down for no reason. I would like to see what exactly is proposed and...

He has said that all countries will be asked if they will accept majority voting. If they don’t they have to leave. It is the only way forward because of the reasons such as Astute’s point that one country the size of a city can block the whole EU with a veto. So, when the question is put to the...

Really? Do you have a link? Not a National Socialist link please.

Have they or haven’t they?

No. Proof that, had we waited, we would have had a justification for holding a referendum. As it is we’re out and Schultz wants the EU to move forward without us. He won’t necessarily get what he wants, but we would have been given a clear question and would not be alone in making our decision...

Or, tha Or, that different countries have different procedures of ratification.

I thought there was a lot of she had it coming at the time.

You are now in the out lot? Could you tell me what is now different? You will be continuing with your posting exactly as before. As much anti EU as possible. Anyway, what Schultz wants and what he gets are two different things. He has to sell himself as radical to the JUSOs in order to get the...
