Whether the outlying Irish are taken into account or not, the median, December 10, finds me in a village with historically low levels of seismic, supernatural and mainstream media risk. But from this semi-detached perspective I assume that some countries (Spain, where there is a democratic mandate) will agree to railroad through treaty change and stay in the club, and others (Italy, where no one has voted for whatever Rajoy's policies are) will drop out. Pre-elections, will Sarkozy be kept awake by his baby, or vice versa? Whence France?

    They'll surrender and pretend they didn't, and a victorious Sarkozy's nose will increasingly resemble De Gaulle's.

  • Barroso says we're making progress, but are his savings still in Portugal?
  • Did Anish Kapoor really not realise that everyone was going to call Mittal's folly the Arsehole Orbit?
  • So what if Spain 10 year yields are 6%? Portugal hasn't been under 10 for a year
