One way for the EU to move forward is ...

The main mistake of Maastricht Treaty was using EMU as step towards Political Union whereas full Political Union was/is actually a prerequisite for EMU (aka the Euro).


So how does one repair the mistakes of the Treaty of Maastricht? 


Well, not Merkel's (bull in a china shop) way, that's for sure!

I disagree with Westerwelle et al. The EU needs a new Treaty ASAP (amend EMU, steps towards political union, etc).

To avoid a UK veto to such move, the UK (and others?) could be offered the opportunity to leave the EU as the majority seems to want in Britain, but with a "good" (for the UK) special relationship of UK-EU as part of the "deal".

Just thinkin!
