When company Directors get the strategy wrong the immediate result is "bankruptcy" or the "liquidation" of their Enterprises. Employees are sacked. Directors get "sacked" ! Creditors get what is left.
The same thing does not apply to "supra-national" organisations or "political idealists" who have created these organisations ! Elections in the EU can be "bad", even hostile, but politicians try to carry on (hang on ?) without doing more than is necessary to "quell" temporary uprisings !
This "windows" the mood of "Idealists" in the EU at this very moment, today in fact !
The origins of the EU started in 1948 when politicians from different countries got together to talk about the future of post-war Europe and this later led to the signing in 1957 of the EEC Treaty of Rome by the six founder member countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands and West Germany).
After many agreements and treaties afterwards, the EEC became the EU of 28 countries of to-day, the latest addition being Croatia in 2013.
There have been many problems since the important Maastricht Treaty in 1993, including the accession of 16 new member countries of varying sizes and economic backgrounds, but also the creation of the EURO ! The general worldwide economic recession of the last 5 years has not helped, but it has exposed the EU to unforseen problems.
The results of the recent EU Parliamentary Elections revealed major gains by extreme right political parties and they reflect the feelings of worried EU voters and the fact that they want action and changes.
The extreme right parties highlighted the "Immigration and Migration" problems but there are many others which must be addressed. They will be the subject of further articles.
