Should Eurosceptics do well in the elections, this may have crucial impacts in Europe.

Keep it calm Russian bro, hehe! As you can see, people living in Western Europe or the New World have a different behaviour towards many aspects of life. I have my " differences " with LeBrok as well most of the times. But it is fine I suppose. I do not keep a grudge on him.
P.S. Russia strong, especially after the new cooperation with China for the natural gas !
Not if Putin has something to say about it.Will European Union Survive?

Since benevolent social planners do not exist, at least for the whole period of their rule, democracy is the best regime that we have.
What you need to have in politics and generally in decision making processes, is a group of people that can actually criticize you---assuming that they are not corrupted and they act for the well being of those that they represent.
For example the regime in Sparta, although oligarchic, had two kings, and the 5 Έφοροι had power to take them down.
Absolute power is problematic indeed, as human nature is malicious per se, in the sense that, somehow, you will look for your well being. A ruler should not do that. He needs to care about his subjects and the well-functioning of the society and not himself.
If Greece survives, so will the EU
By the way Wilders and his European partners have to find at least 8 or 7 parties. If Vlaams belang does not get enough votes, Wilders and co will have a problem to form a eurosceptic faction.
update NL EU elections (37 % counted):
Wilders party seems to have lost two seats of five, so his Euroscepticism did not rewarded him as many had thought.

What Anton didn't mention is that China does not need Russian gas, because they still prefer coal from China and gas from Turkmenistan (and of course China itself). The Chinese didn't want to pay as much as the Europeans, so it is only now when Europe is thinking about alternatives that Russia agrees with the much lower price for gas that China wants to pay.
Anyway the pipeline that transports the Russian gas is ready in 2018. In the meantime it might get difficult to find buyers for Russian gas if it became sanctioned by the EU.

One has to take into consideration though that coal is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy, although cheaper. China's evolving economy and people demand environmental reforms, and in order to do that they will have to invest in cleaner energy, i.e. natural gas, solar energy etc.
If the EU does not reform it will go bust. England elections just showed it. France it seems will follow so does Netherlands. If they allow referendum in Germany they will follow. In current form the EU can not function. Imagine the parliament has 1000 members. That's a huge meeting by any standard. Imagine now Balkans, Turkey,Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and who knows else, in the union!!! Simply a conglomerate cultures ungovernable! I liked the idea of three tier Europe they once circulated. Fist tier the Nordics forming a political union and same currency union, second tier the immediate countries to EU having an political but not monetary union, and the late comers just an economic union, no political, no currency union. Its going there, if not it seems England will be the first country out.
That's true however it doesn't look like the Chinese government is about to speed up the process to achieve that goal. As I said it will take several years before they can use the Russian gas. And Russia needs the money urgently, if something is about to happen to the gas delivery to Europe.
Well, UK surprises me not all, it only joined the EU to have a say about the regulation: if you are not at the menu, you are on the menu. Switzerland and Norway are not member of the EU but still they have to apply EU regulation if they deal with the EU. So in that case you have no political influence on the EU regulation, but you have to follow the EU regulations anyway.
France is a bit more of a worry and the Netherlands well Wilders had better days.
The harbours for fluid gas are already built, we don't need the Russian gas if we don't want to.Europe needs energy to feed its industry. Capital rules after all, so do not believe what politicians say, especially when they talk about punishing Russia.

EU will survive and regarding energy, EU has been contemplating on several plans for more then 10 years on how to get independent from Russian gas, and now is the time to put those plans at work.
