very well welcome to. your headlines now. democracy chaos president. the primary challenges for russia saying the country is on the brink of a new political era where every voice will be. as the. international sanctions cools and living conditions to deteriorate.

the flow of drugs used to kill us. faces an uncertain future. economic problems we discuss the issues that we're. coming your way right now. well today we're joined by conservative any please mr daniel hannan thank you very much for joining us first question that everyone is asking is where do you see the eurozone headed well we can now see very clearly that the euro is a recessionary instrument and it's making people poorer it's causing deflation and emigration in the southern states is causing tax rises in the northern states if we were looking at this completely logically we would immediately move towards an orderly unbundling of the single currency but of course the european union is not

looking at it logically they come at this with so much political capital and actual capital invested that they can't bring themselves to admit that it was a mistake and so i'm afraid we risk the very thing they purport to fear which is a disorderly breakup of the euro caused by having tried to keep it together for too long an orderly break up is that really the cheaper and least painful option here i mean there are those that would argue that a breakup would be the more expensive option but do you think there are no good options from here there are no easy outcomes when you are looking at states with the level of debt that some of the e.u. member states have so we're dealing with lesser evils but there is no question that allowing each country to return to its own currency to start pricing its way back into the market exporting its way back to growth is less bad for all the maybe some . short term uncontainable transitional costs is less bad than carrying on with the current crisis while december ninety e.u.

leaders agreed most of them at least agreed to move on into forming a fiscal compact and the u.k. used its veto to prevent any treaty changes so that when it comes to those who are saying that the u.k. probably will have less influence now in making decisions in the e.u. wouldn't it have been better if the u.k. had just got on board with the rest with this was the argument of course. that we were given when the euro was launched in the first place you have to be part of it or you'll lose all the influence you know the city of london will decline and so look who was right you know i mean look there is nothing less attractive in politics and saying i told you so but there is no there's one thing less attractive and that is listening to the same discredited arguments from the same shameless politicians who got it wrong who got this badly wrong ten years ago and who are now trotting out exactly the same logic what else has to happen before they accept that their logic was flawed all wish logic is flawed do you think the economic or political logic mainly the impossibility of jamming widely divergent economies

into a single exchange rate and a single interest rate there is also a democratic cost it's not only a political cost last month we saw crews in two e.u. member states initially as in greece elected prime ministers were toppled in favor of euro structures were trying to leave home years in remission and a former vice president of the european central bank they had what are called national governments but the governments have been put together for the sole purpose of pushing through an agenda that would be rejected at a general election so that we see the if you like the anti democratic tendencies that were always there implicitly in the eurozone we now see them explicitly apparatchiks in brussels deal directly with apparatchiks in athens and in rome the people and their representatives have been cut out all together all the e.u. is still continuing to ask and look for help from outside of the european union

outside of the euro zone for money to beef up their. those mechanisms to help the bailouts in the euro zone countries as well as the i.m.f. what do you think of this measure of trying to look for help from the outside will it actually help solve the problem i mean this is this is treating a debt crisis with more debt. you don't help an indebted friend by pushing more loans on him when a country can't meet its existing liabilities it's crazy to extend those liabilities we should move towards a. partial orderly default in countries which simply can't meet their debts and an agreed separation of the of the eurozone so you're saying that a euro collapse is the only solution here the collapse of the euro will be the beginning of a solution or you see the end of the euro as it currently stands will be the beginning of a solution but the real solution will come when there is

a proper devolution of power so that decisions are taken more closely to the people that they affect and if you if you look at one of the really successful prosperous countries in the world the little ones the hong kong's the swiss saloons lichtenstein's the channel islands the monaco's the brunei's you know now you can say oh well they're all tax havens that's making the question they became tax havens because they had low tax why did they have low taxes because they had the small state advantage without the duplication without the big government and if you want a simple explanation for why the european union is falling behind further and further in the world economy that's it and the european union would argue that because of these projects they are in fact helping the growth expansion and progress of member states of the european union do you think the good does outweigh the bad in this case if we you funds were the way to growth greece would now be the richest country in the union and germany would now be the poorest. and crowds would be marching

furiously in kiel than hamburg and duesseldorf protesting about the greek loans right. just as with individuals so with entire states if you become dependent on subsidies from somewhere else that saps your enterprise you start perfectly rationally early ranging your affairs around qualifying for the grounds instead of creating wealth and this is the trend. city of the recipient countries the best and brightest people in those countries the entrepreneurs the people who could have done so much making things inventing things selling things creating businesses in their home states because nothing can compete with the advantages of being on the e.u. payroll they all start gravitating towards either directly the brussels bureaucracy or indirectly becoming contractors or consultants dependent on loans we in the contributor countries grumble about it but the real pain is felt in the recipient countries and one of the recently approved budgets is for the acquisition of new buildings for the european parliament for example do you think this spending is

justified and necessary i mean you know how crazy at a time like this when everybody i mean you know in every member state people are looking at how to trim budget you know do they do they really need two cars can they find a cheaper mobile phone operator all of my constituents are making these decisions we're all seeing a real decline in living standards and the european union is why you believe fire rose these of millions and hundreds of millions of euros and visitors centers and museums and you know more entertainment allowances for commissioners and you know extraordinary my favorite story of the last commission was that. herman van rompuy and manuel barroso flew to the same summit in russia in separate private jets leaving brussels within four hours of each other and austerity is for the street sweeper in sluggo for the classroom assistant in corfu it's not for the euro problem you've been an m.e.p. for about twelve years now what do you know now that you didn't know before when we

joined the european union we thought it would be a common market that was the phrase that people used and if pushed what we meant by common market was mutual product recognition right if i can sell a bottle of mineral water and person i should be absolute in france or germany and vice versa. what we found instead is that it's a highly regulated market so you find that in order to sell a bottle of mineral water the bottle has to contain the following minerals but not any of these you know the volume has to be not greater than x. and not less than why the water has to comprise the following elements you can then find that even a bottle of mineral water that was never intended for export that is only consumed within a very small radius of where it can fall foul of the e.u. regulations and be declared illegal and so instead of getting a common market we have the opposite we have a restricted market where instead of being extended consumer choice is diminished so following your train of thought here are you saying that

a european union can exist in current form for example if only decentralizes power instead of consolidating it it wouldn't exist in anything like its present form i mean in one hundred seventy three which was the year that the united kingdom joined western europe was thirty six percent of world g.d.p. today it's twenty five percent and twenty twenty will be fifteen percent why is that the main constraint on a big inefficient government is international competition. you can raise your taxes up to a certain point and then the money starts going abroad to friendly jurisdictions and you have to crush it and you can bestow incredibly generous entitlements on your workforce maternity leave and paternity leave in a forty eight hour maximum we can suck up to a certain point then the jobs start relocating but the european union gets you out of that problem it obviates the challenge of external competition it allows you to

export your costs. to your rivals and you could just about see the rationale for that fifty years ago when the main competition was coming from greece it is of course ridiculous when the main competition is coming from india china and so on and that's why the european union through this policy of centralization of harmonize ation of uniformity has. itself to economic and significance of this why being a euro skeptic what are the advantages that you see the european and being part of it the one thing the one thing that the european union has done is it has a major impossible. the secret diplomacy on any given day in brussels will be a meeting of agriculture ministers will transport ministers it doesn't even make a press release and i would such a normal thing for that to be happening so that is a good thing that we should be talking together that we should be collaborating on matters that we can't achieve singly and we should be arbitrating i'll just use these things no one is going to disagree with that but i have that but you really don't need all the rest you don't need the bureaucracy you don't need the common

agricultural policy you don't need the common fisheries policy you don't need the euro all of the rest is not only irrelevant to that goal but is actively harmful to it because as we now see the extent of integration far from spreading peace and goodwill in europe has had the effect it's actually increased national antagonisms to a greater level than they've been up since the second world war so many of the leaders right now who still want to forge on that would be the hero in its current form especially german chancellor angela merkel she has equated the survival of the euro and to the survival of peace what's your take on that the e.u. is a consequence rather than a cause of peace and you are the idea now that peace in europe depends on these massive bureaucracies in brussels is crazy peace in europe is maintained by trade by friendship and above all by the fact that we are now liberal democracies rather than north or tearing countries thank you.
