Re: Brexit

You are selectively interpreting the phrase “completing the Economic and Monetary Union”.

It means completing a series of reforms in this context - not forcing countries outside the eurozone to adopt it.

Ironically, the proposed reforms give more power to the democratically elected European Parliament and give less power to the behind closed doors meetings of the Eurogroup of finance ministers. The reforms, in theory, reduce the power and influence of France and Germany.

Indeed, presumably the United Kingdom is a signatory to that?
