Description EU summit kicks off amid strikes RT [...] Paul Nuttall, a Member of the European Parliament from the UK Independence Party says the issue with Greece is clearly political. "This is a political project, it is not about economics. What would make economic sense is for Greece to come out of the euro altogether and go back onto the drachma," he explained. Nuttall also says EU leaders are playing behind people's backs trying to put through their legislations. "This is a clear affront to democracy. European leaders are trying to bypass people in making their decisions," he said. When asked about EU perspectives in the near future, the politician did not give an optimistic prediction. "The tension between the countries -- particularly between the north of Europe and the south of Europe -- is only going to get greater. What you've got, is protests in the south and what we are seeing in the north is a political revolution where new parties are springing up and eurozone-skeptic parties are getting better results than ever before." rt.com
