Re: Do we need a United States Of Europe
I voted no because right now we need to be a member of the EU like we need a hole in the head. It beggers belief that at a time when the single currency is in the mess it is that there are still some people wanting the UK to go diving into full integration. As it stands right now the EU is little more then a benefits club for france and germany with little or no benefit to other memebr states but a lot of cost involved.
With the EU as it stands right now i do not want to be in and will never want to be in does that mean i am against being a european no it doesn't it just means i have no intention of being a lapdog in a biased union. I think the EU needs to be scrapped in it's current form it is nothing more then a massive beaurocracy, corrupt to the enth degree (have they managed to get the books signed off yet) and despite having many states as members does little or nothing for the majority of them.
At some point in the future were a union of fair and EQUAL states be suggested i would be more then happy to weigh it on it's merits and would probably support membership but i cannot see that happening anytime soon. As for the comparison to the fall of rome lol just lol could you be anymore ignorant of either subject as there is no realistic comparison to be made in the two situations.
We are on the brink of another tech revolution clean energy and all the alternatives that brings with it in all areas and whether were in or out of the EU won't make much difference. If we don't start moving over to that area rather then flog the dead horse that is old industry we will be sealing our own economical fate. Thats where the future lies not in huge monolithic unions but in being on the ground floor building fast in new technologies.
It is that in the past that made us rich and it is that in the future that will determine if we stay rich or slowly slip into poverty EU or no EU won't alter that.
