"France starting to stumble under the weight of their tax the rich plans"
To name that as a single cause of bad econ is ridiculous. Even the predictions of his own party speak of 210 million euro. There are many other reasons for bad econ. Esp in France, lol.

"Greece is falling under the sway of Nazi/White Power types as the population more and more blames immigration for their woes."
I'm afraid so. Feels like the good old choose between the reds or fascists. People never learn.

"More than 50% of Britons would choose to suceed from EU if a referendem was started."
To many of the top class have interests in Europe. It will never happen.

"Spains economy and Government teeter on the verge of collapse."
true

The Catolina question gains steam thanks to the lack of a smackdown on the Hamas request for nationhood of Palestine and threatens to rise to other such efforts.
I doubt it. Most of the Catalans are still against independence.

"Merkel is suffering losses in her parties control of Germany slowly but surely."
But polls predict the opposite.

"Talks have happened on how to do an exit for Greece from the EU."
I hope so.

"The United States, Russia, and China are suing the EU for their obviously illegal airline tax scheme (which the EU needs for revenues...)"
This is a minor dispute with to much media attention. There is always a fight going on over import taxes or the likes. It should be 0 between EU en US plain and simple.

All in all I think I agree with the majority of your points, except for the separations.

@beowulf:
I'll add it.

so far:
option 2: 3 votes
option 6: 1 vote

Nobody voted 5? Fraude! Manipulation! Bribery!

@waldo:
So it should be:
Election system poll.

Do I need to make a new topic or are you ok now?

Should the choice for president be decided by the total amount of votes?

1. yes
2. no the current system is the best
3. pick someone randomly between 5 and 90 years old, no matter state or gender. What are the odds its someone like obama or bush?
4. no there is a better system (then the total amount of votes system) but its not the current system.
5. The oracle will speak neo, you're the one Little Paul!
6. no, there is no better system at the moment, but something needs to change
7. (coming soon)
8. It should be decided like the tournment in Hunger Games.
9. ...

Altough I bet everyone will pick option 5 as I do, I take option 3 as next best.

to bad Putin wasn't it and they shot it down.

Iran is on the brink. The effect of the sanctions might be the final drop. Hunger has been the engine of the Arab spring.

@BeoWolfe
Its a guess. In any case it couldn't get much worse.

Its so easy to go on Obama cause he messed up almost everything. In that context its only a small victory. It also proves Romney is Obama II.

One example, The Belgian "green" party ruled a few years and became very little.(because ofc they s*****) The extreme right party was not allowed to participate and grew to huge proportions. No matter extreme left or right or whatever, there are countless examples like this.

no need for a nightlight.

Understandable strategy from his perspective
