but Europe will not be united. Mark my comments. France might have an excellent president, but it's not big enough to be the EU leader. Lots of Eastern European nations are also pulling their legs...
So long as UK still keeps its own pound, UK is not fully integrated with Europe. If London becomes the new EU's financial center, then I will be really worried. But right now, I only see empty promise and no real comittment.
Nov 15 will not see any major progress. You overestimate France's strength. All nations are falling off the cliff now and we have not reached bottom yet.
