Left parties to form coalition in Lithuania

Your EUR campaigning is not only off-topic, but as pumpkin as Esti=No's rants against Estonia for each and everything.

Do you need to spam the same message on every article now? How desperate one can be...

When you will get it in your pea-brain, No-one wants the EURO.

Barroso, Rompuy and his unelected army are forcing countries into the Euro whether they like it or not.

Nobody in Latvia wants the Euro.
Poland refuses to join the Euro,
Britain was proved right about the Euro, it's the single worst destroyer of employment since 5 years before it was implemented, by that corrupt Kohl his Vichy nazi sympathiser friend Mitterand.

Look at what the Euro did to France, it sextupled the price of a croissant in 3 months!
What growth did it bring.

NONE, it slowed growth DOWN.

Emanuel, the EURO has nothing, but nothing to do with Lithuania's turn to the left.

It's totally off-topic and fanatic also to spread such spasmodic EURO progaganda on each piece published here - every single day of the week.

"Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden are all obliged to adopt the Euro"

No they are not.
You are talking bollox.
All these countries can REFUSE to join the Euro and there is NOTHING whatsoever the European commission can do about it.

What you think they can do?
Fine them? How? With what legitimacy?
By what court? Who will enforce it?

Force them to join, who will force them say to stop using the Swedish Krone?
Their banks can't be forced to print Euros, so you are just talking crap.

Poland and Sweden will remain out of the Euro, and surprisingly they remain too of the most wealthy countries today with growth, while the entire rest of the EZ endures an economic depression & record unemployment.

Zebber,

In 2003 there was a referendum in Sweden concerning the adoption of the Euro. The population voted no. This is the reason why Sweden did not adopt the Euro.

I think there will be another referendum in Sweden on the Euro in the future.

Sweden will probably adopt the Euro after Latvia and Lithuania will adopt the Euro.

So, 9 years ago the people voted NO. What has the EU done to FORCE Sweden to take the Euro? NOTHING. The EU is powerless to FORCE any country to take the Euro, regardless of the terms of the accession treaty. So Sweden can just vote NO every 10 years and NEVER be forced to take the Euro, correct?
Answer me this Mr. Europhile, I thought the free movement of persons was a fundamental right in the EU. Why then do certain member states (Germany, Austria and others) STILL place restrictions on the movement of persons from countries that joined in 2004...even though PER THE ACCESSION TREATY the MAXIMUM time persons were to be prohibited from moving was seven years...ending in 2011...yet there is NO freedom of movement to certain countries. Why is this Mr. Europhile?
Paper...that's all the Eu treaties are...pieces of paper and if a member state chooses to do what it wants-rather than what it is required to do per the PIECES OF PAPER it will do just that and the EU is powerless to do anything...that's exactly why Sweden has not taken the Euro, even though the PIECES OF PAPER say they MUST!
Anyway...this whole Euro dream will be over in a short time, when the Euro currency fails. The question then is what will suckers like Estonia, Slovenia and Slovakia do when that day comes...and it will come.

You're correct that all the countries you cited must have a path to join the Euro, per the accession treaty. It sounds like an easy way to avoid this is to do what Sweden did -- put it to referendum, let people vote it down, and then ignore it. (Actually, they opt out by not joining the precursor ERM II also).

Given the current state of the Euro, I can't see why any countries would want to join right now. They could join, and then a week later get stuck paying for a Eurozone bailout or loan guarantees. Financially, it makes more sense just to wait a few years for these problems to be fully sorted, and then join at that point.

The problem is, Sweden is too big and too rich to be forced to do anything.

"suckers" as someone termed it, are little countries like the Baltic states and Ireland.

When they didn't like the fact that Ireland voted NO, AGAINST the treaties, they bullied it so much because they didn't like the democratic choice of peoples, they forced it to do a rerun of the referendum until they said YES.
The mere fact you cite Lithuania and Latvia as obligated to join this massive job destroying scam called the "common currency" shows not how intelligent you are, but how stupid you are to cite "weak" only "semi democratic" countries as models of virtue.

Of course in your world of "the European project" which is in fact run by a hardcore of unelected fanatics in Brussels it makes perfect sense to see the world in the same terms as the USSR.

Remember in the USSR, policy was dictated from Moscow, production targets & productivity by a small unelected elite, and they had very high standards of living at tax payers expense, with a common defense policy based on mostly bullshit.

The only difference today, is the same model is being run from Brussels NOT Moscow, and the undemocratic EU SSR claims to represent your best interests, exactly like the soviet communist parties did.

Eesti=no moron comparing EU to his lost empire while spiking that AIDS medicine gotten by a doctor at Pärnu.
