Hardly Uptopia, I am not for central control at all. And you are right it would not be to the benefit of the public at all, though there would have to be some benefits.
And while we are all different it's not hard to find a common enemy, again in stages and appropriate to the arena. So central Euro would be different from central control in Africa, Americas', Asia. It would be the malcontents opposing Union that would be a threat, never ending of course, requiring more and tighter regulation. After all, all right thinking people want peace, stability etc.

Closer ties between other countries, cultures and peoples is something I would welcome with open arms. I am a realist and know that will never happpen. Nothing that the politicans do would benefit be to the benefit of the public and there will always be malcontents. That is life, get used to it.
What you want, as I, is a utopian dream which will never come to pass. At least I can see why not.
