7. We now have a financial transaction tax and a bonus cap. Sometimes things do look up

even though I think it all starts by allowing too big to do fail when appropriate, and prosecuting the guilty. So to "extremists" like me, this isn't enough
I mean come on, there still is NO plan to (re)separate retail and investment banking...and Basel III is being pushed further and further away.

Still, being a convinced internationalist turned eurosceptic ever since I've seen how we handled the crisis and since austerity for the masses, things like these do make me go "not all in the EU parliament are beyond hope". I am for the EU but not this EU is my position.
