Raul,

since I live in the Netherlands I qualify for “all of europe” from your closing statements.
However the appeal is naive since 99% of the establishment (political parties, government , corporate sector, banks) is pro-Europe. The only dissident is our local Geert Wilders party who affiliates with le Pen France and others and most people therefore rather avoid.
The only change we had a few years back was being able to vote for the new EU constitution (in practical terms even far more Europe). It was voted against by 2/3 of the population but then they changed some wording, called it something else and went forward just the same.
The good thing about our “democracy” is that we can say what we like but it is totally ignored.
Some parties in parliament have now voiced their concerns regarding Draghi’s next move but it is completely out of their hands since local government has no saying in what the EU central bank does. Things will only change when a complete euro implosion has taken place and there is nothing the average citizen can do before that happens
