Are these Europrats serious, the Euro is down the pan and they want to bring in another tinpot country!

Seems like a sensible country to have in the euro to me.

Perhaps they all want to join in the big mess.

It proves the whole thing is driven by ideology and not pragmatism.

It's probably a bad idea to be making assumptions about your economy, or their economy, probably an even worse time to contemplate rafting up together when it's proven that rafting up causes problems.

'Sensible' and 'Euro' should never be in the same sentence!

Well, let's hope they join and crash the fking thing into the ground even quicker.

Will the markets sympathise with the apparent bullishness of the eurozone movers and shakers?

Fuelled by a property bubble driven largely by greedy foreign investors, which then spectacularly burst.

Estonia wants to strengthen economic ties with the eurozone because it (rightly or wrongly) fears its neighbour. They're not looking for handouts.
