  You have 25% unemployment in Spain 19% Portugal
  
  The southern countries are unsuitable for the euro
  
  The EU ignored this fact
  
  When you have mass unemployment and poverty, you will get communism or nationalism or war or both

  fully agree keith, the post war history of the 3 main strugglers does not augur well for a democratic future for them.
