Aim is not expansion, it is more a unity. Unity can bring greater benefits and causing the breakdown of nationality which serves nothing more causing conflict. When at discussion tables, a strong united Europe would be a far more formidable power than any of the individual states by themselves. Causing unity will start destroying boundaries which separate people, and instead of people fighting amongst themselves, they will be fighting together. It brings a brand new focus and energy with it. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It will end disparities and be an uniting banner. There is far more to be done and things that should be done on a fundamental level that cannot be done efficiently otherwise.
