Yes please. IMO the sooner we become one giant European super nation the better

Europe is to diverse for thst to be honest, secondly swiss and norway wouldn't join. Neither would any country which doesn't have the Euro. Would you be glad to hand over the profit of the hard earned North Western economies to support the broke corrupted states even further. I don't want to see that happen since that would tore our continent appart even further. The EU must become more of what the EEC was a party for environmental care, economical colobration and control, controling migration and millitary defense nor shouldn't concern itself with every law made in each state it should lose it's big brother's attitude. The EU should set out a few clear lines to which countries need to obey to stay in the Union (rules about corruption, debt etc.).

It's also what UK wants these days 75% of your lws are delgated from EU policy's.

Except that shouldn't really be a problem. If it were to unite in to one country those wouldn't be broke corrupt states any more. Well, ok they would still be corrupt but much less corrupt than they are now.

Also if some countries don't want to join then really that's just their loss, and as for the Euro one of its main issues was it being a single currency being subjected to many different economies and policies this would prevent that as well if it was all one economy sharing the same economic policies.

 

But how much are you prepared to pay for that as a North Western Europe country? Last time I checked Swiss and Norway did better than any EU country on a ridicilous amount of area's economics, healthcare, education and quite arguable immigration. European countries all have their own culture, much more than American states (even though your states do differ). Our nations are pride of the fact thqt they are Dutch, France, German, they see themselves as citizens of a country not as just an European. In a way the strength of the EU comes in it's diversity. take that away and transform it in another US/ Which would make the continent weaker, we complete each other these days and for that each nation needs some of it's own laws.

In an ideal world it could work, but it would make a huge mess of Europe due to all the uncertainties it will bring with it if Europe decides to become a supercontinent. Which industrie will profit from that, which industrie will be torn appart by that, the stock courses would go down damning the superstate. After a while they will recover and become strong but at a huge cultural, economical and industrial cost. I prefer Europe as a whole lot of different countries working together on some aspects and do there own thing (specialize)on other aspects
