is the EU a good idea?

[zaangalewa]

No, you wrote as if my comment was not allowed. Learn English better and you might make sense.

I do not think "to make sense" someone is able to learn - specially not from you. You should try to find out on your own what makes sense and what makes no sense. That many US-Americans try to destroy Europe makes for example no sense. What had your naive political idiot Donald Trump to do with Great Britain - and why did he and his criminal gang manipulate the Brits and their refendum for the Brexit? Why is the USA doing such weird things?

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Only US-Americans think exclusively in structures of economy. But economics is not an end in itself. The EU is first of all a peace project. The most successful peace project on this planet at all.

We are right to ask if Europe can keep the peace. The answer is “no”. Peace in Europe owes much to other factors and the EU has done little to build peace beyond its borders. Peace within Europe has become fragile as the euro unleashes competitive pressures that pit national economies against one another.

Can the EU keep the peace in Europe? Not a chance

The European Union was billed as the most important post-WWII peace project. It has failed.

The United States of Europe is a good idea to compete with America directly, but reduces representation in the UN.
It is not fair all these tiny Middle Eastern States gets 1 vote each. They make up a huge chunk of the UN, therefore making it easy to vote on the Islamic agenda and the anti-Israel agenda as well.

Lots of Germans want to leave. I’ve been talking with them.

Many Germans leave Germany. And when we speak with them they say often they came out of the frying pan into the fire.

The EU.

Duh!

 

[zaangalewa]

The United States of Europe is a good idea to compete with America directly ...

That's impossible because we are a gigantic amount of different languages, traditions and cultures. Federalism is no empty phrase in Europe. The USA is a monolithic block of egocentric people compared with the European diversity. Who knows an US-American knows the USA. Who knows an European knows nearly nothing about Europe.

What's not your problem. You have only two borders and gigantic problems with your borders. And you are in the near of a civil war because of your two simple political ideologies.

The answer is “no”. Peace in Europe owes much to other factors and the EU has done little to build peace beyond its borders. ...

From which war do you speak now?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

Eh? I said grass is green - you said grass is blue. I still think grass is green and I still do not smoke it. My question was just simple about which war you are speaking.

What European countries are under a dictatorship?

By all means disagree, so set out and correct them if they're re wrong. Simply put, you disagree with facts.

If you DO NOT implement a directive, you are fined until you do.

The Joe public cannot vote for the chief dictator, the answer is no one.

Brexit was about 8 years I think and some still go on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....about it. How's the UK this, how's the UK that etc.. We dumped the dictatorship, all the others should too. Germany should hold a Brexit, let the people decide if they feel all the crap from Brussels is worth it !!

The ease to cross borders freely, both for people and for trade, makes it worth it.
Unification of a single powerful military makes it nice too.
You would want a single language as well. It doesn't have to be English.
And the same EU laws unification laws will help as well. I like our state's version where the state makes laws for itself, but there is a single set of laws for things that cross state lines like Trade, Commerce, and military.

The US has 50 member States and a central government. Imagine not one of you can vote for your president and if your State doesn't implement the new directive, it's gets fined millions until it does do.

Would Americans like that system?

Now that you are allowing "Asians" to immigrate there, that will change.

It's old buildings and culture. Shame it is going to have to be now blended as it allows immigrants and yes the EU can increase the speed of that happening. I'm sure I would've appreciated the other Countries culture, and architecture as well if I had visited. Now all I have are my photographs from when I was there.

I think you passed the point of no return and now have to accept being a blended country, and so have the other countries there.
Also, your need of a global control, laws and trade/economy, eventually is going to make individual countries and laws obsolete. This will not happen in my Lifetime, I hope. The Federation is coming. Your actions have consequences, and you liberals/socialists tend to not recognize them.

Do you vote for you prime minister?

 

[Slyhunter]

Do you vote for you prime minister?

A President, instead, works just fine. Though I would prefer a British form of election processes, I am just one voice in millions.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Do you vote for you prime minister?

We're party politics, you vote and elect your MP in your constituency and the leader of the party must be a sitting MP, so that means a constituency had voted for the party leader. If the winning party achieves enough seats to firm a government, the sitting leader becomes the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister steps down or is pushed out on a no confidence vote, the new Prime Minister (party leader) must be a sitting MP, a one a constituency elected.

The only ones that receive no public votes are the House of Lords members which has been a bone of contention for some time. The system to elect them keeps coming up for review, which it needs to to make the government fully democratic.
