Default Re: Future of the EU

It does really depend on what the grand vision of the EU is? A united states of Europe, a trading block where you don't need passports or something in between.

We're long past option 2, you'd never get the UK to go for option 1 so it's probably option 3. Sadly half the guys who wrote the constitution wanted integration and the other half didn't. So you get grand statements of how the EU will rule the continent ignoring any form of democracy, balanced out by sub sections and articles cutting those statements back.

Result - A confused mess which would probably be used by the Eurocrats to extend their powers far futher than anybody intended. That was the previous EU treatys have meant anyway.
