Huh? It's about creating an identity, a single market, and in the process, creating peace. I don't feel it is attempting to destroy national identity, if anything, it allows it to thrive (as long as it is compatible with the EU idea). Same goes with individual and national rights. EU policy provides a common framework, and if anything, it only overpowers states in favour of its citizens (see ECJ).

- krona 10y ago> It's about creating an identity Sorry, that sounds like socialist nonsense. > A single market The single market was and is designed for a collection of industrialized nations that no longer exist. 2/3 of the EU economy today is driven by services (80% in the UK) and yet there is no single market in services worthy of the name. Even the EU commission admits that the single market is a dysfunctional mess; of course their answer to the productivity problem Europe has is 'more single market!' > and in the process, creating peace. It's only been through the interests of the US that peace has been maintained. The expansionary EU threatens that. > it only overpowers states in favour of its citizens In what world is it a good idea that unelected and unaccountable judges can overpower the elected and accountable governments of member states?
