Europe

[Furunculus]

I have gone further and discovered more about definitions to explain my brand of European Federalism. The definition of Regionalism goes a long way to what I would see happen to the Nation States of Europe. They would dissolve into regions which are administrated locally but tied together in a federation at a European level which only deals with matter concerning the top-level, such as Foreign policy.

This would multiply the many states of Europe into local regions which various populace would like to manage themselves opposed to being completely managed by a bunch of random guys in Brussels so while we all embrace a European identity, we have our own local flavours and diversity which is part in making Europe so great.

regionalism is generally meant to apply to nation-states, with greater subsidiarity from within that unit, not to con/federations where there is no identity at all, and the attempt becomes one of manufacturing a new 'loose' euro identity.

The 'loose' Euro identity already exists, at least in the younger population and similar for older population as well, but they simply have stronger identities competing for air-time.

Proponents of regionalism say that strengthening a region's governing bodies and political powers within a larger country would create efficiencies of scale to the region, promote decentralization, develop a more rational allocation of the region's resources for benefit of the local populations, increase the efficient implementation of local plans, raise competitiveness levels among the regions and ultimately the whole country, and save taxpayers money.

Admittedly, sounds like something you would support Furunculus, in many ways.

i am all for decentralisation within the larger country of Great Britain.
