I think supporters of this idea take the citizens' loyalty for granted. Much like the nations within Europe do.
It would be super easy for the EU to charm the European populations into EU loyalty instead of national loyalty. All it would take is to offer good deals to the individual person. To start, a minimum €10 000 per month salary for any citizen taking up military duty. Home ownership to young people who contribute to the federation. And such things, the possibilities are endless.
But we all know that the disdain that the EU leaders and national European leaders have against their own population is bottomless, and that they would rather do anything except building loyalty among their population.

- carlosjobim 9mo agoI think you just presented good evidence for my suggestion. All the greatest soccer teams are successful because they are willing to spend big money on getting loyal players, from anywhere.
- jopsen 9mo agoAn EU soccer team funded by the EU to win against all other European teams. Wow, I fear people would hate that with a burning passion. Creating national unity is hard. It doesn't happen overnight -- maybe if you are attacked by an external force.
