Is
Chancellor Merkel making a tactical error in offering support on
all fronts to get the French president re-elected. An endorsement
by the de facto Queen of the European Union is a great asset for any
politician embarking on a campaign trail. Appearing alongside the
possible defeated of that race will damage her judgement
and the doubts will set in. The chancellor is riding high. She is
needed to assist Europe pass through the crisis and to secure her
own re-election in 2013.
"It's
about the big responsibility we have, the construction of Europe. We
are surrounded by competitors, we have to show them that we are
capable, that France and Germany together within Europe can make all
of Europe successful," Merkel said in a joint interview Monday
with Sarkozy on public broadcasters France-2 and ZDF television.

This is true about the challenge to
forge a competitive Europe. But it is not true that the people are
fully behind “Dimension; the
Art of SuperState.” At
least not for now.
Should
Angela Merkel fail over this move, she can expect no support or
assistance from the next French President for her own
re-election....... Endorse yes, marry no.......

Well
I realise we've all been hypnotised I love your Angel eyes. Chancellor
Angela Merkel, De Facto Queen of the European Union, risks her position over
one man. Picture 2011

The
president of the European Council Herman
Van Rompuy has defended her decision. "We have gone through such
a huge crisis," he argues, that "we are looking to each
other in a different way than before". "What we are
currently going through is... the Europeanisation of national
political life." (BBC)
In
his dreams say
the Euorskeptiks. But there is a point for both sides. If Europe's
leaders forge unity and they may be just able to do so, then there is
an argument that citizens may again listen to what Art
of SuperState has
to offer. Working in unity would be interpreted as a success. And
success breeds more success.
Rome
was not built in a day and neither will “Dimension;
the Art of SuperState.” Chancellor
Merkel can help the “Europeanisation of national political life,”
not by accompanying the probable vanquished in presidential
elections but by preparing permanent working relationship between
France, Germany, the UK et all to pursue the European
Dimension
regardless of personalities. Europe will not flounder through the
vanity of one politician seeking to retain power. But it will be build
on the Europeanisation of national political will to succeed,
subject to the support of the democratic wishes of its citizens.
