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. :-))
Agreed. The problem is that Europeans are used to authoritative central governments.Their only concern is getting a central government that does “what should be done.”
They have zero experience with the idea that individuals, if left to their own devices, will generally do the right thing.
The thing the IRKED me no end when living in France was the extent to which the average Frenchman had no confidence in his own ability to regulate his own affairs. It was always “the government should do something!”
