Quote from GoldStandard:
If the Euro collapses, aside from the economic turmoil, I think the most important ramification is that the countries of Europe will have avoided losing their sovereignty to the nascent Euro-empire that the bankers are trying to form.
The alternative to Euro collapse is probably that the Eurocrats succeed in using the upcoming crises to scare everyone in Europe into issuing Eurobonds backed by some sort of central fiscal Euro government. If this happens, you can kiss representative democracy in Europe goodbye.
