  • Which country in the EU is hamstrung by Hungary? Other than Hungary?

    Also what is it that the UK now can do with Russian funds that the EU can't due to "EU regulations"? Genuinely curious as I don't know the answer and I don't get any obvious hints from searching.

  • How so? There isn't a common defense policy in the EU that I know of, so any country is free to support Ukraine as much as they want, as far as I know. Happy to be corrected though.

    I'm sure there are some brexit benefits somewhere, but I don't think this is it. What Orban is doing is stopping the EU doing something together, but he can't stop Denmark or Poland from supporting Ukraine if they wish to do so.

  • There's been a lot of talk/news over at the Europe community about how a lot of Canadians want to join the EU. Not that I think it's likely, so it was just a little silly joke.

  • Sweden sees strongest support for joining the Euro in 15 years

    跳过

  • Public debate is fine. Good even. I wouldn't support a referendum on the Euro though. That would just be another brexit, where lies and falsehoods are spread and a country being split apart. Let the government do an assessment on the benefits and drawbacks and then announce a policy on what they intend to do, and let's see how things turn out in the general election.

  • Is Canada joining the EU? Brussels hails ‘like-minded partners’ amid trade war with US

    跳过

  • Well, Greenland was an EU member, but they left. Can't remember when, but it was before brexit, so the UK wasn't the only, or even the first, to leave. Possibly the last though, as the appetite for leaving seems to have dropped significantly.

  • They could do it because we were a small currency, and it it didn't quite work, at least not the way it worked before. The currency is now "floating" against other currencies which it wasn't back then, and we had a recession at the time. I agree that Sweden would be giving up a few tools in the economic toolbox, but on the other hand it gains a few others. I can't say which ones are more valuable because I'm not an economist. I suspect you're not either.

  • While that's certainly true, we also had businesses speculate against the Swedish currency in the early 1990s, driving up interest rates to over 500% for a few days in order to stop the outflow of capital.

    So there are arguments for adopting the Euro too. But like I said, I'm not informed enough to say which is better. It's a very complex issue.

  • The government has to balance the budget anyway, and devaluing your currency is a bit like peeing your pants. It's nice and warm for a bit and then increasingly uncomfortable.

    Inflation goes up, you see capital fights because you're not a reliable currency, you increase your national debt, and you instantly make the entire population poorer than their neighbor countries.

    So while there are some benefits, most economists argue against it.

    I can't say if Sweden going for the Euro is good or bad for Sweden, and there's a paradox in asking people about it, because if the SEK is weak then support goes up, but it's a bad time to join because of the low value, but if the SEK is strong then support goes down, although we'd be in a much position to join.

  • Not sure if you're being serious or not, but it's not about joining in 15 years, it's that the support is the highest it's been in 15 years.
