Making the poor better off

Forgive me if I am wrong, but didn't Germany try quantitive easing. And they are in the EU, I can't for the life of me where I read it and what countries they were.. But I thought one was Germany

Slightly off topic, but I thought it was against eu rules to have state owned companies?

 

Against EU rules to subsidise companies, so if they make a profit, all is ok. I thought that was why some of our shares in the banks got sold off, the state is allowed to help companies, but not subsidy year after year.

Slightly off topic, but I thought it was against eu rules to have state owned companies, hence the sale of royal mail, I'm well aware of the fact that the French and germans ignore this fact with their own state owned services, but how would he get them through into real life.

Also Labour has pro eu for many years now, so how would jc get these through his own party ?

 

No, Look at most of Europe, they have more state run businesses than the UK.
