Of course, if we pretend nations don't exist and their people have no common interest, it doesn't matter if laws come from your national government, from Brussels, or from a distant capital like Washington or Beijing. So long as you get a vote, even if diluted by millions or billions of new fellow citizens, it's all the same.
- LatteLazy 4y agoI think without meaning to, your making my point for me? My vote is diluted with 60mil others. Does diluting it with 500m others in the eu actually cost me any say? I think not in practical terms... And nations might exist. But that doesn't have much to do with governments these days. I like in the UK, 4 countries (plus other bits)under one government. A whole bunch of different nations under those countries. I have a lot more in common with people in other big cities like (say) Paris or Berlin since I am from London. I have very little in common with someone from the Welsh valleys or the rural england. Yet we're all under the same UK government. The point here is that moving power from Westminster to Brussels has no real effect on my representation. Nor does it harm "common interest". Both of those are basically gone when you have more than 100 people in your sovereign entity.
