Any old ideas? - share yours, but conceding some is always an idea too...

The euro concept is a great idea, conceptually, but was it economically?, how much it prevents weaker economies from recovering needs a detailed analysis. Trading with a currency overvalued for an economy’s state might greatly reduce possible exports, but adversely promote more easier borrowering. The result might explain huge debt and few jobs. Going back to undo the euro might be impossible and offensive to euro zone countrie. The idea of dual currency countries trading internally with the euro and externallywith their own currency might be theoretially looked at. Chaos? Or the best of both worlds. A common currency for most of europe and one each ? floating for world trade. I guess weaker ones and stronger might need capping of some sort? No idea if it practically possible but theoretically it might generate many economic papers to analyse for solutions. BUT Its urgently needed now though!! New economics should not be shunned-
If it works - we could join the euro too and keep the pound. I dont see joining the euro as it is to be a good idea thus far. UnEmployment is much higher in most euro countries.... And of course cryto is there to be utilised fully yet, but if a second international currency was considered viable and worth a go, a small easily rescuable country might test it out first.
I like the idea of shengan and hope we can join, With new camera technology un prejudicely identifying suspects from databases, from war zones, terror zones, it might be possible to immediately ask suspects through to normal securitychannels. A combined travel card id card bank card will be immensely powerful in allowing capped free movement and allowing refugees a means to earn and return with savings that are only released on return, but not as a means to exclude or victimise but get balance, with citizenship applications still being granted, perhaps by many orher countries too in such a scheme. A 1.5% of a countries population cap allowed to freely enter the uk will keep it dynamic free and thriving with nothing noticable unless a ceiling is hit then new entrants are either charged a refunable on exit feee, or a higher tax forcearnings after a year etc the possibilities are endless but needs to be ethically done. Other countries can ignore the system or useca similar ststem with %allowable adjusted to suit their own population size, a cap by country keeps it dynamic and keeps diversity without mass migration from just one country.
A new chamber of nominated elected members from home countries to work with the eu parliament, a joint senate with commission advice and expertise and the commission as the dafault position on non agreements. A positive future together ideology enforced to deal constructively with issues.
And national and european security issues as a part of a modified european courts system but it cant be renegade but must be just to individuals but also to countries themselves.
Besides all that, tackling climate change is a great european agenda, along with social poverty, equality, and overpopulation internationally and internally. A 2 child policy is the only answer i can see for maintaining populations without massive increases that might be grossly disproportionate. Very sensitive issues on how to do this. Some population areas are seeing big growth. If we find acceptable balanced ways it will mitigate future stresses.
Finally for now i wonder if a european work card scheme to enable a year here, then there, then there with participating companies, governments, and employess will bring a european identity for all and see dynamic balanced free movement... that sort of thing
(I think a second referendum might accidentally vote in leave or hard leave... unsure of this now, more time will be needed with nationalism put aside because its 18th century and always polarises more and more... til it explodes..
Also the economy created 3 million jobs and brexit fails to tell us if they would have left these jobs unfilled. We have 50/50 eu/non eu migration and 3/4 of population growth is internal. The growth got us out of huge debt.)
Final finally, if the eu cant get to grips with balancing europe out, in the euro, maybe bipartisan approaches are possible for job creation sharing and sharing the profits tax incomes etc. Who knows. I just look at unemploynent maps, they are looking quite worrying. A jobless economy has social issues, friction and is a declining market to sell to!
