Idealogically speaking the creation of a European Block to oppose that of the United States is inviting ! Ultimately the question will be answered positively but on conditions and terms that modern politicians have not yet even considered !!!
David Cameron wants a revision of certain aspects of the EU Lisbon Treaty and many other factors and conditions that he chose not to identify in his delayed speech yesterday.
This revision must at least cover the following weaknesses in the Lisbon Treaty and the way the EU Powers conduct business:
- Democracy; at present does an EU elector have a word to say ? The Lisbon Treaty is "THE" example of political manipulation, where electors had no word to say !!!
- MEPs are elected every 5 years, come what may, in their own countries. Why are MEPs not also elected or re-elected at the same time when there are General Elections in their country ? That would update national feelings in the EU parliament !!!
- Closing the borders of the EU to immigrants into the EU !!!
- Deciding an EU foreign policy against Terrorist Activities !!!
- Giving the EU Parliament a structure where it can decide and vote on what should be done, with an Upper House, a Senate in fact, where EU leaders vote to adopt laws passed by the Parliament !!!
It is for these reasons that this Blog is of the opinion that a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE is, at present, not a real option. It will come but not before at least 10 years.
The EU is a basket of mixed countries !!! Each has its own aims in being in the EU !!! Some need the support of the "EUROZONE", others are Financially orientated, others are pre-occupied with the Tourist industry.
Some countries are top heavy in Industry. However all countries protect their interests !!! That is, in fact, the real problem !!!
It will take time to create a "UNITED STATES OF EUROPE" !!!
