National or European

[gaelic cowboy]

What you see as "ethnic" divisions in the US are actual divisions here - case in point, farming co-operatives don't work well in the UK because the rain (although we could make them work better) and as a result British farming works differently to in France.



The idea of "Europeanness" is a political construct - just like the nation-state. Declaring Europe a superdentity is a way olitical statement - nothing more.

You have co-op's in the UK they just tend to look more like multinationals to continentals than co-ops.

this is a uk co-op with thousands of shareholder farmers, they have the same thing in France or Germany but they have co-op that share machinery or labour etc etc that you dont have.

The rain certainly plays a part in those not being usuable
