Who have we actually lost? I know of only one person who (I think) deserved to be banned, and that was someone who was malicious and actually didn't seem very well.

I know of at least three recently banned, long-standing posters who really should not have been banned and contributed interesting stuff to the discussions (from different points of view).

I'm thinking of banning myself at this rate…

BTW, what does PPR stand for?

:cool:

I have no idea who is not posting but I find the thread at the moment much more calm and a lot less combative.

Just a philosophical thought for the future,
When Britain has left the EU hopefully by the end of March 2019 what will Britain and or those who voted to leave the EU want from the the EU and the EURO then.

Further fragmentation of the EU leading to its collapse.
A spiral upwards or downwards in the value of the EURO leading to its abolition.

It would appear to me that it will be in Britains interest that the EU and the EURO continue to plod on, perhaps growing, changing and shrinking very slowly so Britain does not end up looking across the Channel at chaos and anarchy which may infect Britain or the world.

As someone who voted to leave I would hope that the countries in the EU grow and prosper and we enjoy an amicable trading relationship and share in each others success.

I see no reason to want those countries to fail. But if the EU continues on the path it is currently, as their politicians are now coming out and saying, they look unlikely to succeed in that endeavour.

I would hope that the countries in the EU prosper, but can't help feeling that for that to happen for Greece in particular, and maybe Italy and France too, the euro itself needs to become something more like it was at the time of the "snake" where individual countries' currencies can move in relation to the euro, but that the euro itself could still be used as a currency across the whole bloc.
Doubt that could happen though.

I doubt many people are bothered. Why should they be. The EU isn't a cohesive entity (yet). So absolutely anything could happen in the decades ahead. All outside our sphere of influence. Let's see what this year brings. As there's potentially serious challenges ahead for the EU.

It's not in Britain's interest for the EU to fail....

Doubt that could happen though.

An alternative is that groups of EU nations decide to share a common currency but the currencies of each group are allowed to float relative to each other. Thus similar economies might have the benefits of a common currency but not have their economies skewed by the need to be rigidly aligned with other groups.

Wonder which countries would want to be in a group with Germany? There are not many that could support the strength that a small-group-including-Germany currency would rise to
