euro leaders

Yeah, yeah, we all know who Merkel and Cameron are, but who are the others?

They are the movers and shakers. The biggest names in European politics. The keenest brains in euro economics.

While these highly paid individuals are the politicians in whom democratically elected nations have entrusted the burden and beauty of power, does anyone actually know who the hell are they?

Heads of the European Council posed for a family photo in Brussels summit as a symbolic act of unity.

You may be able to pluck out Merkel or Cameron, but how many of the other most powerful politicians and economists in the world can you actually name.. honestly?

Are you as euro-wise as you think? Leave a comment and let us know how many you got. Our official line is, we got them all!

Camoron and Merkel, thats it, why would we know or recognize the majority of these muppets, all should have strings attached as they only implement exactly what they're instructed by a higher order. Europe was a plot hatched on millions of people to benefit a few, all of us are required to keep filling "central banks", the purpose of this exercise is to concentrate the wealth into as few hands as possible. Ever wonder why racism laws came into effect, anti-semitism, equal rights, min wage, climate debates, g8, g20, NATO, UN, why bankers cant be held to account, politicians playing by "the rules", police forces getting away with murder. These ideas came about not through good men with your interests at heart but politicians in the pay of bankers. All part of the plan, too many coincidences and no laws for the rich. We have all been conned by empty promises of what good the EU was going to be, it was never good for the peoples of the 27 countries, only bankers, politicians and big business made good from this con trick and all the above are in collusion, it is the theft of democracy from the people and its shortly going to turn nasty for all of us after they bleed every last penny from the system, we are canon fodder to these people nothing more.

How can you have a democratically elected nation?

All the leaders are not democratically elected anyway, as Italys prime minister was not elected but implanted by bozo and stiltskin
The european union all part of the New World Order, one world, one government, one currency, one bank, slowly creeping into being.

Why bother naming them individually when I can think of one that suits all of them?

Hi Mickey - that was one of them! We'll have to get to work on a collective noun for them too - how about an 'expense' of eurosummiters?
