I quote:
"Europe
claims to be a rule-based organisation. But however else the eurozone is run,
it is not run strictly according to its own rules."
Y'see, people, and particularly non-Common Law jurisdictions see 'rules' as the
way to run things. That is that Liberty is something that the State
'provides'. Whereas Common Law jurisdictions see the state as preserving
and extending natural liberties. That is we are all fundamentally free.
The Libertarian 'self ownership' thingy.
And the trouble with 'rules' based jurisdictions is (a) there can never be
enough rules as societies and economies are too complex for rules to be drafted
to cover every eventuality and development - who could have written a 'rule'
for UBER say? Which (b) leads to endless gaming and manipulation of
the 'rules' by the citizens, and also, tellingly, the governments that set the
rules. As the article also remarks:-
“From the beginning, the rules put in
place for the euro, relating to bail-outs, monetary financing and deficit
levels, have been ignored...”
The end game for all rules based
societies must be dictatorship. In the case of the UE that dictatorship
is personified by its bureaucracies.
If the UK wants to preserve the Liberty of its citizens the fundamental
incompatibility of the Common Law with the Roman code means we have to go.
Or, as I would prefer to say it, as an Englishman, we need to leave the
EU to go its own way to perdition.
