>> If that were the case than there’s no point in having a political system, is there?

Yes there is. It’s like court, you have prosecution and defense.

>> They don’t oppose for the sake of opposition like you’re suggesting.

I didn’t suggest that they “oppose for the sake of opposition”. I said they oppose because that’s their job, to keep the current government “in check”.

>> Your problems and complaints about the EU are not relevant to the discussion.

They’re not complaints, they’re observations. Some of the items, not all, like defense and dollar liquidity are very relevant because of the geopolitical interplay.

>> Unless your talking genetics, how does this qualify you as a “European”?

I didn’t say I was European. I said I was a European citizen. You see, holding a European citizenship makes you a European citizen. I even voted in the last EU parliament elections.
