Cameron is best of the lot.

Clegg - wants more European integration.
Millipede - well would you trust him?

Now David Davis - he would have been ideal

[Dishevelled Den]

Thatcher would have sorted Fuhrer Merkel out, and her little french poodle

Iron Lady ? 
It's said the engine of EU economy is the French - German corporation, but two strong country not enough if there are a lot of weak one...That's why GB is needed as a possible new supporter (means : payer) member.

French is far from being an engine imo

Indeed cem, either of the financial or automotive varieties - witness the PRV 6.

Sadly Martin that does little to bolster one's confidence in the make-believe Tory.

I know

Hence I think he will be ousted before too long by a real one

I'm pretty sure we'll be stuck with Labour again after the next elections..

Don't scare me

We have just got rid of them and if we get one in our constituency it is a woman who is too crap to go in an open vote.

However pretty sure there will be no UKIP in ours (Eurosceptic) so new chap (definately a rebel) still has a chance, just a randon labour woman and maybe a libdem.

As to Millipede - no way is he suitable PM material.

I must have missed something - but I thought the problem was that the Euro countries couldn't devalue their own currency to save their economy, ergo they had to be bailed out.

But Hungary has it's own currency.. so how come it isn't just devaluing it, like I've seen mentioned so many times here?

[albitz]

Well it means they dont have both hands tied behind their back while trying to solve their problems,but it isnt an automatic cure for all financial ills.
I notice that certifiable idiot Michael Heseltine has come out of the woodwork today and said that the UK will inevitably join the Euro in the future.

[Kevin Wood]

Britain will join the Euro before long says German Finance Minister

Sounds typical to me. "Fully-emblinkered German fails to see the sensible alternative." Been there plenty of times sitting in meetings having worked for German companies most of my career.

I think the "EURO = can'o'worms" message should have hit home with even the thickest voters here by now so they'll never get that past a referendum. Rubber stamp it is, then.

Devaluation is hard case becouse lots of hungarians have loans/mortgages on own estate or car of course in foreign currency. So if devaluation is realised the amount of money per month they have to repay is going on to the skies... National Bank of Hungary could regularize the rate of exchange but there is a little ideological opposition between the Gov and Bank. The Gov represents a right wing conservative line but the Bank does a left wing liberal-socialistic direction.Gov is attempting to push Bank to modify the hire of money unsuccessfully... They are independents, Gov say what they want the Bank do what they want...

Many country which adopted regulars of IMF was in trouble later becouse of advices of IMF. It occurred several times ,on different points of the world but mainly in South-America. IMF gave wrong advice a lot of time as if they had been interested specially in connection with these countries...it's declared that IMF has to support the stability of international finance but seems they don't do . (or unable to do...?)

Aye, unfortune, but without agreement the investors/shareholders are distrustfuls of Hungary...We don't want to take a definite amount just an agreement is needed investors to be calmed.
