How can agreement for a new treaty be made within 1 week as demanded by the ECB

This is irresponsible and an arrogant assumption both by the ECB and the dynamic duo, we have Angela Merkel wanting to rewrite the Euro rule book by reopening the Lisbon Treaty which was really the Maastricht Treaty just juggled onto different pages, having achieved this she will then permit all 27 Countries to negotiate,this obviously would involve both the European parliament and commission,however the little man has suggested that the 17 EU countries could strike a separate pact without reopening the treaty.Where then does it leave the other 10 countries including ourselves, I for one do not want to continue to be dictated to by the European Commission, we pay a great deal of money each year and basically have no say because we are on the peripheral, well this new treaty should give us the ideal opportunity to continue to have a free trade relationship with Europe however we take back our powers that our politicos had no right to give away.

It would appear from an interview from both Ed Miliband and Danny Alexander that they would have handled this summit differently however when both were ask if they would have made the same decision as David Cameron did in safe guarding the City, they as usual declined to give a direct answer just reiterating what they had previously stated.Also a  few Conservatives along with the Dib Lems are miffed  about David Cameron’s decision to veto the proposed new treaty because their was no protection for our markets  within the treaty, he  quite rightly took the only decision there was to make, as it was intended by the dynamic duo. Apparently we will be isolated and not be a privy to making decision’s” a news blast” we have always been on the outside and any decisions that have been made, have been made by the 17 and we have had to adhere to them.Nicolas Sarkozy insulted our Prime Minister by giving him the cold shoulder when he tried to shake his hand, this man is an ignoramus and yes I thought that the little man rubbed his hands in glee because he had manipulated Mr. Cameron into this veto so that in the end when the EU does continue to disintegrate(purely because they are not dealing with the core issues) he could have blamed him for it., however after watching the Euro News at 1.30am this morning I was shocked at the momentum of protestors in France toward Angela Merkel. So although all 26 countries politicos appear to be in harmony, it is a completely different picture in their home countries.

Today we play a waiting game sitting outside the conference room awaiting the decision made by 17 member states of the European Union that will affect us greatly whether we like it or not. Yet the other 10 of us have to wait to be informed of our fate. When are we going to leave them to it and start building our nation once again.Any time I think of the EU there are only two countries and names that come to the fore Germany-Angela Merkel & France-Nicholas Sarkozy, how can this possibly be, they are supposed to be united however it would seem that only the dynamic duo know best and everyone one else has to follow.

The ECB state that they may reduce rates so that Bonds may be sold, this is obviously a sweetener however how long will this last. We all know that this crisis could have been avoided if only Ms.Merkel had allowed the ECB to step in earlier however that was not to happen cause how else would she become Empress of Europe riding in on her white charger snapping her whip to keep the dullards under control.

It would appear that Angela Merkel will get her way without any argument by the 17 EU Countries about the proposal that Brussels run all finances and expenditure through her for each corresponding country,however because of the ban on media in Europe on giving important political news such as this, I can forsee great troubles when the populace of each country realise that their rights have been given so freely away.It would seem that 1 Trillion Euros is small change to becoming Empress of Europe. The ECB and Angela Merkel should hang their heads in shame for utilizing this situation in Europe to gain complete control of all participating countries. They should all remember that Ms.Merkel has a coalition government also she has an election coming up in 2013. David Cameron has to now appreciate that we have absolutely no say in Europe and would be better off building our trade affiliations elsewhere. He should also appreciate that he is our Prime Minister not Nick Clegg and act accordingly in safe guarding our financial institution because the Merkozy Dynamic Duo will tear it down with impunity given the chance.
