that simply has no bearing in reality.
there is far more that binds us as a nation than divides us through demographic differences.
I don't see how... i now many people from the internet who i have much more in common with then your average britian. I just don't see how some British farmer living in a remote place would have more in common with a stockbroker in London than some French farmer living in a remote place, simply put they wouldn't. The farmers are both concerned about issues to do with farming they both used to a rural life... similar with a french stockbroker to a british one... concerned about financial markets.. both city slickers...
Why? if i am no longer governed by those whose decisions i can accept then i have two choices:
1) learn to live with it (why should I, its my country)
You don't like our current goverment but live with it...
You have the wills of people from all kinds of british towns imposing thier will on you... why should the people of cardiff have a say in ruling you ? why should newcastle have power over you ?
The simple answer is that you don't, you would still be just as much a part of a democratic process as before, just a smaller part of a bigger democratic process, to use this as an excuse for terrorism is wrong, it was wrong when muslim terrorists did it because of the iraq war and it would be wrong for you to do it because of further eu integration
2) fight against it (to re-install governance of my country, by my country, for my country)
Which country would that be ? your bedroom ? your house ? your street ? your town ? england ? britian ? europe ?
They are all exactly the same, the only difference is in each step you have less say but more clout...
It would seem you might be best served by accepting membership of Husar's merry little band of one-world-government groupies.
However, while i can understand it from him coming from a part of the western world that has been governed in a totally dysfunctional manner for the last hundred years, i am a little surprised that you would take that position.
One world goverment is obviously a very desirable goal, the rich couldn't avoid a fair level of taxation so easily, no need for armed forces (or maybe very small force... or very advanced police force...) instead of competing against each other we could work together and achieve much more...
Its not so much displeasure at the governance that lead me to this position... i have for example been against devolution since i was about 11, 12. Just because you achieve much more together and its a waste having seperate parliments and the like...
Though i admit theres displeasure at the government... i doubt that a one world government would be much closer to my views...
