Wallonia tail wags the EU dog

In order to get anyone to join the EU, the "leadership" of that con game had to do something that seems very stupid: it had to give an equal vote to all members and it had to give single member veto rights.  Like I said, it seems stupid but that is what the EU con men had to promise in order to get the smaller players interested.  Bait for the trap as it were.  After all, before the EU, there was plenty of trade in the region.  The EU did not create trade!  All it did was to try to stop the little guys from inflating their way out of their debt.  That's it.  Nothing more.  The little guys knew they were giving this up and so in return they required to be able to punch waaaay above their weight at the negotiating table.  Thus the stupid terms of the alliance.

Well its coming back to haunt right now as a small region called Wallonia within the EU member country Belgium is not happy with the deal.  While Wallonia is not a member country, it has political clout within Belgium and thus Belgium will not agree to the deal unless Wallonia does.  Where does this end??  Is Wallonia in toto actually against the agreement or is it that Wallonia itself has powerful subclasses, each of which must agree in harmony else no deal?  Could it be that some random person with a name like Lucas Peeters who owns a Moules-frites on Rue del la Broucheterre doesn't like the deal so he is digging his heels in?  And without him, socialist Wallonia cannot agree and thus Brussels cannot agree?

What a joke.  Too much power has been given away to member states in order to keep the EU moving in the same direction anymore.  When the credit was rising and everyone was confident and prosperous then deals could easily be pushed through.  But now everyone is worried about recession and so they will begin to think less about the team and more about self.

By the way, nothing does my heart more good than to see a liberal bureaucrat frustrated to the point of tears about having to deal with a liberal bureaucracy.
