Europeans are increasingly associating with Europe over an individual country. US citizens have been doing this for a long time. They are citizens of the US before the state they reside in.
- Hamuko 8mo agoWhere is this data from?
- the_mitsuhiko 8mo agoEUROSTAT. They are running regular surveys. From when they stated to today, the affiliation with Europe went up. Some somewhat recent data is here: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2971 https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2971 Given the dramatic amount of in EU migration that is not too surprising.
- Hamuko 8mo agoThis data seems to suggest something completely different than that people are associating as citizens of EU instead of citizens of their respective countries. 93% of respondents are correct in that you become an EU citizen automatically by living in an EU country, and 87% "feel" that they're EU citizens.
- the_mitsuhiko 8mo agoI am not saying that European citizens are saying they are saying they are European over their nationality, but that the trend towards a European identity is going up over time.
