TopasPV, i haven't paid any attention to the EU for a few years now. but, i do think Stallman is right about the EU being undemocratic.
about 5 years ago i spent a few months reading about the history of the EU and finding out what it's about.
there was one book i loved called
The Great Deception: Can the European Union survive?
i'd recommend it to everyone. it explains everything, although perhaps from a British perspective.
actually, this is the copy i have -
The Great Deception: The Secret History of the European Union
