There is strength in numbers, unless you enjoy being a patsy under NATO.

A United Europe is the whole reason the sovereignty argument comes up. A single-country EU takes away the sovereignty of it's components - I do not want Germany to become a state of the EU, albiet the most powerful one.
Hence my comment of an EU with too much power.
