If you give me ONE REASON why we should keep it as it is I will do it. Actually I will raise you, if you give me one good reason, I will "unsign" the petition, PLUS I will run naked waving with the French flag to downtown and back, while I'm constantly screaming "Viva la France" (and have a friend record it for proof).
Now, please give me one (good) reason. |

Trust me, no one, I mean NO ONE, doubts the French influence over the EU (except perhaps the French). Imo French got too much influence if anything :p
Most people in Sweden (and probably in most EU countries) see this as a symbol of the burocracy and senseless spending that the EU stands for, it is also a symbol of the French obstinacy when it comes to everything (ie French must have a share of everything no matter what). |

They are seperate institutions from the parliament. If the ECB moved from Frankfurt to, say Stockholm, once every week then I would be a STRONG opponent of that too, but now they are staying in the same place all the time and are independent from the parliament. Don't you see the difference? |

Well obviously it is great for the people of strasbourg. BUT what the is that for kind of argument? Sure, why don't we put a parlimant in every town in the EU? That would be soooo coool and good for everyone!!! Obviously not because it would be a senseless spending of money for no real use, just like this!
