but why should we have to build one big country to compete politically or economically? if institutions like the UN and WTO were doing their jobs and receive proper, unconditional backing from the big boys (and not when it suits them or when decisions go against them) then we wouldn't need regional blocs for trade, military etc. every country could compete on a level playing field without the need to "team up" to stay ahead of the game...

the EU isn't about "a strong economic union" it's only about political union. any member of the EU can leave tomorrow and still have the trading rights it has now - THAT IS A FACT. what the EU is trying to do is build one big country, it was about to happen a couple of years ago, but didn't get through at the time.
the EU isn't democratic. when was there a vote for the President of the European Commission?
i know politics is boring and people don't follow it much. but i just wish people would pay more attetion to what the EU is about  |
