The bigger EU states have already effectively begun subsidising the poorer states. They are just not telling their electorates
The failure of the Greek bailout has provoked much navel-gazing and chin-stroking among those who are concerned with the European project and the euro in particular.
The consensus seems to be that the monetary union is now at a crossroad. It either falls apart with all sorts of apocalyptic consequences or else has to be deepened into a true fiscal and political union; this would mean the richer countries will subsidise the poorer ones, but in return demand a considerable say in how they conduct their financial affairs.
