Of peninsulas in peninsulas
Poland won’t want to do the same as Ireland
They have different levels of power and wealth
Different history they’ll be mad about
Something which is actively changing
*Thanks* to the EU.
IE. levels of wealth are increasing across Europe..
That's why you preserve States' rights, just as we did in the United States, though I suggest a careful study of how they've been eroded, to ensure the same mistakes aren't made in the EU as have been in the US.
That just means it’s taking wealth from one area and placing it into others
And Greece, Italy, Spain is in a shit ton of debt
Britain France and Germany pay most of the bill
You allow some autonomy for each individual states, but the federal government dictates foreign policy, domestic policy, monetary, etc
Basically as Jeremy has said
Good luck
Perhaps in the eyes of economic nationalists, but laissez-faire trade has long since been mathematically proven as better than mercantile systems.
A price worth paying for a unified, wealthy Europe?
I don’t see it working but I’ll accept that I can be wrong
It's currently working out.
Idk
Even right now
It’s a noble goal
Europe is more prosperous than ever?
weez wants golden chains
There is an alternative perspective to view the matter, Snake.
Rather than State competition, you have competition on the level of individuals.
Because it can it can focus its economy on butter not guns
Lucky us.
We can expand it.
And then in the future, change the focus.
Towards military spending if we so choose.
Thus, the fundamental differences in objective and desires.
But at the moment it's in our best interest to unify Europe and make it wealthy.
You have Europeans in favor of State competition, who see the State as the pinnacle of their lives.
Then, you have Europeans who desire individualism.
wealth unless your on the Mediterranean
Things which can obviously improve.
And has actually been improving for the majority of Europeans.
Correct, Weez.
This was the realization of the US centuries ago, in seeking to ratify the US Constitution.
