I kinda like the EU you know. Sure it's clunky and weird and unwieldy and hardly ever does quite what everyone'd like it to (which shouldn't be too surprising, given that this tends to mainly consist of some variation of "gimme mo' money"...), but it gets points for the sheer novelty value and effort.

Plus it's helped keep the Brits, French and Germans off each others' throats and actually cooperating (to some degree anyway) instead. That's a definite plus, given the track record of those three.
