UK Video Roundtable: Current Eurozone Funding Crisis

Video below of a recent UK political talking head show where the current Eurozone funding issues and future EU political future is discussed. UK Independent Party MEP Nigel Farage participates as the Euro-skeptic; and three other MEP officials from the UK, Sweden and Romania weigh in.

A recent Eurozone political development that was reported last week was a movement towards further fiscal and political union among current Euro currency nations. This video addresses this issue. The reporting last week was unclear as whether there are two factions at work here; one faction that is proposing further union of only "core" Euro currency member nations and one faction proposing further union of ALL current Euro currency nations. Farage seems to think the main proposals envision the latter, but you can judge for yourself. I would point out that no one on the panel is from a country that uses the Euro currency, but 3 out of the 4 panelists seem to like the idea of more political union within Europe.
