Nigel Farage has the advantage of leading a small (at the moment) party, so he can tell it like it is, not like the media focus generated speeches from the major parties.
There are 3 possible solutions to the Euro crisis:
1) Eurobonds (vetoed by Merkel)
2) Inflate away the sovereign debts by QE and printing money (vetoed by Merkel)
3) Get a non-Eurozone country to pay (vetoed by Cameron)
4) Panic, have a tantrum and throw your toys out of the pram, saying things like we will keep the UK budget rebate (French MEP), or say what Cameron wants is technically impossible (which is bull.... all they mean is, we are not prepared to let the UK off the hook, the city must bail out the Eurozone).
If it had been a Merkel demand to protect Frankfurt or a demand from her Poodle it would have been accommodated.
The new treaty does not solve the Eurozone problems, it is not even a credible sticking plaster.
The Germans with their
Poodle French partner created the Euro and the mess that has followed, and it cannot be solved, as there is a stalemate, where Merkel and the Poodle are both protecting their national interests at the expense of the rest of Europe.
Merkel the price of borrowing as Eurobonds would be at a higher interest rate, and the fear of inflation, The Poodle to protect the French banks (although there has been a rumour that a French bank has had to have Government assistance, to stave off bankruptcy in the last few days).
At the weekend an American general was contemplating in a public speech on the implications of a Euro collapse and / or civil unrest, like the Arab spring for the 80,000 service personal based in Germany, so you can bet that the Pentagon is now busy planning for worse case scenarios.
If you want to see some lively parliamentary debating, then you can't beat the Rada in the Ukraine. This happens about every 6 months.
