It doesn’t really help that the last crisis exposed that Eurozone governance is a headache compared to the relative cohesion of a one-country currency, due to the individual countries butting heads about policy.


Is that no different to regional leaders butting heads in government?


To look at the government styles of other major reserve currencies (USD, CNY, JPY), state/provincial/regional governors have little to no impact on monetary or financial policy. Florida doesn't have the ability to veto the FDIC saving a New York bank for political points, the same way Germany was very will-they-won't-they over several major bailouts.


The difference is that even when non-Euro countries have different regional leaders butting heads, you still have both fiscal and monetary policy controlled by those elected/appointed from the same country.
