How is an enforced international state better?

At least most of the people in Italy/German/France/the UK can understand each other.

SFSG is wrong about Scotland - they would automatically succeed to the EU because they would "inherit" membership, but he's also right because as a new country it is doubtful they would inherit the UK's opt-outs, meaning they would not be able to create a new currency but would have to choose between pound and Euro.

The EU is an ideaological project and therefore a bad thing.

Anyone who suggests to the contrary, that politics driven by ideaology is a good thing, should go looking for their common sense because thy've clearly taken leave of it.
