    Default EU yes or no?

    EDIT(as panzer reguested.):Yes or No.I personally think that the EU is weakling because of its share size.We should uphold the trade agreements but there is no point of federal state of EU,because EU nations have too different cultures to begin with.I think that if Federal states should be created they should be created out of Nations that share the same culture like Northern countries.

    The poll is somewhat hard to understand.

    It says EU: Yes or No. But then you ask, should we disband the EU?

    I say no to the EU and I say "yes", disband it.

    Yes = keep EU and expand it

    No = demolish EU

    I say disband, then start a new, less technocratic and more democratic union with countries really willing to cooperate.

    Edit : I voted yes, but yes to disband. Silly me

    Pro EU and pretty happy with that fact. All those who want to do without it either miss the point, the facts or reality in a whole.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    No my friend, it is you who (a) miss reality or (b) want to play along the games of the oligarchic elite.

    EU is no democracy, that's a fact. EU control, through directives etc, a lot of national laws. Laws that affect people. And the people have NO say, what so ever, in these laws. Is that fair? Hell no.

    No, Im most displeased about the lack of a space between "I" and "personally" in the first line. In fact, it disgusts me.

    Yes.

    As in 'yes, gimme more EU'. As in 'yes, more peace, progress and prosperity please'.

    14.000 rules on the curving of bananas may be a monstruosity, but it still beats 25 conflicting sets of 14.000 rules on the curving of bananas.

    Pro = JAG, Louis IV, Ronin.

    Meneldil
    , like a democratic voter in Florida, was tricked into voting the exact opposite of what he intended to by the confusing polling system.

    JAG is British. Ronin is Portugese - which I wouldn't call Central European.

    Leaving yours truly as the sole central European supporter of the Franco-German 'axis of EUvil'.

    I voted yes, because there is much good that the EU could achieve, if heavily reformed that is. Currently EU is doing it's job poorly though and if there isn't a improvement soon you might as well scrap the whole thing.

    As I said in another thread... I have mixed feelings....

    I truly fear that the EU could become the next CCCP... I also have people here in Volensk *Which is in Asia* who feel that Europeans are nothing but troble...

    But I would give anything to see Europe in a state of peace... But I do not like how manny nations are Scocialist...

    Yes to EU.. Really !. I mean in globally politic terms, EU is a need.. A peaceful polarity which is impossible to grow as a nuclear superpower, but powerful enough to draw a line when needed..

    I absolutely don't want Turkey in EU, but let EU live..

    The EU is just another pathetic attempt to unsaid America as "undisputed champion of the wrold" and unfortuantly the EU countries have no chance of stopping us for 2 reasons

    1. We are greedy greedy bastards
    2. If anyone ever truly gets ahead of us the nukes will be used

    So you silly euros can play house but we will continue to suck third wrold countries dry push around 2nd rate superpowers and keep giving China the notion they could actually compete with us
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I would love to reform the EU to make it looser and more about trade than political union, but everyone would have to admit that, as far as Europe is concerned the 2nd half of the 20th century was much better than the first half.
