Even if the Euro fiasco is ignored, the EU is burdening it's member states with phenomenal bureaucratic burdens that are costing significant percentages of GDP, so prosperity is out. The EU courts ignore or reinterpret laws to promote political agendas, so justice is out too. Individual and political freedoms are shrinking rather than growing under the EU, as the populace has no democratic influence on policy and are being subjected to a continuous stream of regulations. As far as peace is concerned, the EU has a record of bullying small nations for reasons of political convenience rather than realpolitik, while ignoring necessary confrontations with countries like Russia, Iran, or China. Add to that the complete lack of sanctions towards the rampant corruption in the administration, and you have an organization that is tolerated by the European poulace because their politicians claim the EU is necessary, rather than enthusiastically supported.

Umm, isn't that what those EU elections are for?

They only elect MEP's, and MEP's don't really have any power, as it's almost always the unelected beurocrats the govern policy in the EU.
