We still don't even have an EU army, but having an integrated NATO command structure is somehow okay.
This is not a problem with a small number of perverse politicians - remember all the failed referenda for the EU Constitution? Then there was the thing where Ireland had to vote twice to accept the Lisbon Treaty...

The masses have no appetite for becoming a Federal Union, many of the countries involved are ALREADY Federal Unions, they don't want to be subsumed under another level of government.

So, again, Farage is basically right - whether you believe in the dream of the EU or not, it's been done backwards and the wheels are in danger of coming off.
