Parliament
with no right of legal
initiative
Commission
which is no
Government
… but has
“Court Functions”:
Guardian of the Treaties
Council
which is driven
by national
interest
Governance is ownership for everybody but responsibility for none!
No real opposition no reversibility of politics
European Trilogy:

The so-called national interests are only the interests of the national political and economic elites,
in whose balance sheets the interests of the citizens are only depreciation masses.
Jean Monnet

Germany – overused solidarity?
- 100 Billion by negative interest on government bonds
since 2010 (Leibnitz Institute, August 2015)
- Profit, created by the creation of the euro (2002-2012 ):
300 Billion; 160 Billion for Germany (McKinsey 2013)
- Greek debt to Germany: 90 Billion.
Germany even made a profit in the case of having to
write off the debts!

beyond social class.
The Suffragettes brought equality
beyond gender.
The Civil Rights Movement brought equality
beyond race.
It is now time for political equality
beyond the nation.
