Never Closer Union

What more evidence do Europhiles need before they will believe that all the fine words about ever-closer union from France and Germany have been just so much guff - simply a smokescreen for their ambition to run Europe as a Franco-German duopoly? (the French with the underlying delusion that in practice they would be in the driving seat).  Any notion that their ultimate aim was a genuine United States of Europe is simply blown out of the water by their unwillingness to accept that concept for the Eurozone even though it becomes more screamingly obvious by the day that it cannot survive without it - except in the rather unlikely event that all the other Eurozone states agree to accept fiscal and budgetary dictatorship from Paris and Berlin without their own people having any vote for or against those doing the dictating.  Mind you, since they have been deluded enough to believe all the ever-closer union guff, who knows what more Franco-German bollocks they will persuade themselves to swallow.
