Question of the week: so what do you do with your rubbish?
What do you do with your rubbish? Do you care what happens once it leaves your house? Should this be an important issue for politicians? That’s this week’s theme on Europa plus. One young Brit tells us what she thinks
What do the new member states have to offer?
The new member states should be asking less ‘what can Europe do for us?’ and more ‘what can we bring to the Union?’
What is the violence which destroys the monopoly of legitimate violence in a state of law?

Not Whats wrong with the Euro?; but Why was the Euro made wrong?
The CaféBabel debate on Whats Wrong with the Euro managed to reflect and pre-empt an escalating debate in the real world of politics. With Romano Prodis recent admission that the Growth and Stability Pact, the rules covering Eurozone governments fiscal behaviour, is stupid, the CaféBabel debate has apparently uncovered a dilemma that lies at the heart of the Euro.
Slash your bonus wrists: what bankers want for christmas
Quite a remarkable christmas list found its way into my hands recently in France. 'Basically, Father Christmas, I just don’t know what more I can do to get decent payment for my hard work and the hard work of my brothers and sisters.

Post elections: 'And that is what Poland is'
Let's judge this quote from 'The Wedding', a Polish drama written by Stanisław Wyspiański in 1901, from the run-up to the parliamentary elections on 9 October. 'Poland is' - the world's only transsexual in parliament or a parliament in which the third major force is a party calling for the legalisation of soft drugs and prohibiting the presence of clergy during national ceremonies. Young Polish politicians looked like Angelina Jolie in Lodz or released viral campaign teasers by screaming out their pledges with the help of heavy metal bands. However the same ovations were not received for the official video promoting Poland's six-month presidency of the EU (think animated tango in 3D), even if it was created by one of the country's top directors. 'That’s not Poland' - so what is Poland then?
