united states of europe

everyone who seriously thinks such a soviet union 2.0 could work should visit a doctor



well, if our european elitists cant bring the lower standard countries up to our standards then we will have to go down....

Would you agree that the best thing for Europe is the dissolution of the EU and a democratic replacement that just focuses on trade? No courts, no open borders (unless 2 individual countries agree a deal between themselves), no shared EU budget.

imho that would be a step in the right direction. I would perhaps still allow the EU to deal with customer protection cases - in this area, size really does matter. companies like google, facebook and friends, or banks, could perhaps give up on a single european country if they dont like their regulations. but no global corporation can give up the entire european market.

yep, this EU has to be scrapped and rebuilt to concentrate on the basics again

open borders in the EU are alright and could stay that way with effective EU outer border protection and by realizing police concepts for controls within the EU that already exist

however the current EU is neither able nor willing to do that and having the police look for suspicious romanian cars (just an example) is of course racism

hopefully people like you arent deciding things like this.

Hopefully a successful brexit deal will make other countries leave and make the EU redundant, then something constructive can be built.

People didn't vote for Donald Tusk and Juncker to decide what laws are enacted in EU countries.

European institutions arent "deciding" this or that, probably the effect of too much TV/Internet populist bait.

Ps; in bold: the joke of the week.

i noted this one:

"
national governments often prefer to leave the Commission alone to make difficult decisions.
"Europe asks us", is a refrain quite regularly heard when it comes to approve of unpopular measures, even sometimes national.
"
Nations are deciding, not the EU.

unelected EU officials breaking their own laws would be a better description



of course a leftist utopia guy like is okay with this madness

There's no madness, you have a populist speech looking for scapegoat, because heh this is how Populism works.
Europe is a tool, like I explained in my previous post.

I'm not saying that you are wrong. I do wonder, does this essentially mean that there is absolutely no way for every country in the continent/world to be prosperous at the same time?

All my life I have heard of people campaigning for less corruption and higher living standards in 2nd and 3rd world countries. Do you believe that this is all just white lies and wishful thinking?
