United States/Nations of Europe... USE/UNE

Hello

How would people feel about the possibility of a Untied States or Nations of Europe?

Personally, providing the states and nations are represented fairly and equally, meaning that each peoples and provinces, such as Cornwall, Wales, Brittany and so on, across Europe, could vote for representatives into an American Federal style system I would be very much in favour.

I see Europe as being the next world leader, using the EU blueprint to spread peace and prosperity across the world. Expanding as it goes, absorbing more and more nations and peoples into the whole, such as the North African/Mediterranean nations and pushing the Euro Zone further and further across the world, raising people out of poverty and forcing nations to abandon backward legal systems and adopt the EU standard.

I think we're already the Untied States of Europe...

No to a federal Europe! Next we will be building the tower of Babel.
They tried once, and now we have the protoype with the Strasbourg parliament building - based on a painting of the tower of Babel.

No.

I personally can't see a federal future for Europe either, with all the different langages, political systems and all.

I'm for it...but then, I'm looking from a perspective of a regular citizen, who wants to travel and connect with friends from different neighbouring countries freely and easily

I don't think it's so much a question as an inevitability.

Yep, it's gonna happen. It's only a question of "when". And then who knows? Maybe we'll all become the "united states of earth" someday. You heard it here first.

NO to a federal Europe.

I am a Swiss and I'm proud. The European Union can shove it.

You can keep your neutrality and shove it up your a...lps.

Seriously, who else is doing to launder our money?

Also, you make nice watches and Chocolate. And you kept the Von Trapp family safe. Your take on the German language is kind of wonky, though.

I highly doubt anything resembling a truly united Europe will emerge in our lifespan. Europe is simply too diverse and full of too much enmity for a stable union. No Pole will accept a German as leader over them and etc.

The fundamental problem with the current EU structure is that all of the major treaties were approved by Parliaments and not the people, since they are not interested in a structure beyond a free market/trade organization. Every "unifying" EU treaty, like Lisbon, has failed when put up to a national vote.
