You don't know its history: … > The EU was always a political union. I'm confused, because it seems that you and your parent are saying the same thing.

If you read their tone, EU political integration is a negative aspect. I'm saying that a) it was always the plan and b) it's good.

As someone who thinks the EU's mission of political integration is a good thing, I think jumping from "someone seems not to think that it's a good thing" to "they don't understand the history of the EU" is less than civil. Even if you and I both agree with the program, surely it is possible to understand it and yet disagree with it?
