This is not easy for politicians to sell, especially in the core countries (particularly Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands), as it would involve large multi-year subsidies to the periphery – or the analytical equivalent of the difficult decision made over 20 years ago to reunify Germany at a currency parity. Here, however, there is the added difficulty of a potential conflict between regional politics and national democratic processes.
一方面，他们可以选择让政治主导经济。政客想兜售这个主意并不容易，特别是对核心国家（尤其是德国、芬兰和荷兰）而言，因为这意味着要在多年内向外围国提供补贴——从分析角度讲，这与20多年前德国重新统一后实行货币平价的决定一样困难。但是，这一回有一个附加的难点——潜在的地区政治冲突以及国家层面的民主程序。
