The only problem with the EU is that the solution already exists... and the Americans invented it.
Europeans do NOT understand that the “United States” began as a solution to the same problem that Europe now faces: separate, autonomous states coming together to form a union.
The articles of confederation showed how NOT to create a true federal system.
Fortunately our founding fathers didn’t have a “Great Satan” as a bugaboo and could modify the articles into a constitution.
If Europeans could get over their Ameriphobia for 10 minutes, they’d see the wisdom...
I totally agree, but the EU would have to pretty much just edit our whole Constitution. Separation of powers, Representation, orderly elections, an independent judiciary, - it all has to be consistent.
(And our Founding Fathers did that all in 6-7 pages. If that isn’t a clue to its brilliance, I don’t know what is. :-))
