You might want to check up on Spanish and EU politics. 'Increasing Socialism'
does not exactly describe *any* European country, certainly not any of the
European success stories. Spain is not quite up there with the Netherlands,
but thanks to its stabilised currency, large potential, and great skill at
bilking EU coffers it is doing quite capitalistically well for itself. Even
The Economist endorsed their current PM - not exactly Socialist credentials,
I should think. And politically, Spain is getting along quite nicely with
most countries.
What I *would* question is the EU's political will to fund an expansionist
military drive into space. It has been said before and I believe, will long
continue to be said that all Europe lacks to be a superpower is the will to
be one. Why would space change that?
