Europe

[Incongruous]

You haven't been reading my posts, have you? You are just seeing what you want to see.

You have not been reading anyone elses either...

Indeed, have you even been reading your own?

I already spoke about this, please look earlier. I recommended teaching critical thinking and how to get your own sources equipping a population with the tools to make the right choices. Also, you have to remember, talking about a Federal Europe is on a completely different time-scale, no one is saying they want it tomorrow, it simply won't work and I believe as you said, you need to deal with the backyard first.

Sounds like a mess to me, I was thinking a proper, functioning publicly funded education system. You know, where teachers can actually teach because they have more than five text books to hand out to students who would rather not be there. You are taking it too far too fast, that is clear by the fact that most Britons do not want the Lisbon treaty ratified. Regardless of how sound their reasoning is, you will gave to listen to them sooner or later, sooner by giving them the referendum, or later by watching the enture edifice crumble due to the fatal lack of democratic process.

The biggest answer would be declaring a Consitutional Republic and creating a 5-state Federal Government of Scotland, Wales, North England, South England and Northern Ireland. Before you wonder, majority of this framework is already in place, it is just that the majority are held by unelected dangos. Using the Britain "at the top" in regards to issues that effect everything, the majority of the power is at the local level, the top is merely a bridge/framework holding everything together.

No it would not....
Why on earth would being a Republic help? It would not, you would still end up having the same old tossers in power, plus you would have pissed off the large majority of the population who are pro-monarchy. The ability to use government at a more local level is possible now, its just that the idiots on top won't let it happen.
