it is not that i believe that the EU is a facist/communist authoritarian superstate, rather i believe that will be the inevitable result of the current attempts to federate the current union of states into a single political entity.

the lack of representation, and the lack of 'family' association, between the voter and the holder of office will lead to a more authoritarian state, something which will be necessary to hold together the fractious parts as they deal with the consequences of an economic and legal model made for all and suitable for none.
