I don't disagree, as I consider part of the success in the EU is decentralisation of democracy. EU power is limited and the power it has is actually relatively well implemented, with notable exceptions such as the agricultural policy. The most successful countries are primarily smaller. I think they are essentially easier to run. Germany is an exception, but it is a federation of smaller states. http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/#/11111111111 http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/#/11111111111
