Europe must act quickly where it's needed and must, once and for all, let member states handle what is their exclusive domain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Europe must be understood and controlled by its citizens.
Europe needs an engine, and the Franco-German motor has provided that when the two nations have converged on important topics during critical periods. But that partnership shouldn't be a directorate for other EU members.
We should seek to cooperate with Europe, not to divide Europe to a fictitious new and a fictitious old.
There are many conflicting interests in Europe.
Nonetheless, we continue to be obsessed with finding or inventing a European nation which, as in the nation state, guarantees homogeneity and thus an appropriate form of democracy and centralized government.
Of course the EU and member states must work to ensure that people moving from one country to another understand their obligations and their rights in areas like health, road safety and further education.
The countries of Europe are too small to guarantee their peoples the necessary prosperity and social development. The European states must constitute themselves into a federation.
I don't think that our European Union membership precludes us from building an illiberal new state based on national foundations.
At the same time the Constitution sets in stone the Stability Pact and risks preventing member States from implementing a policy of growth. So we are not able to do things at the European or the national level.
Whatever the details of union may be, there's no doubt we need more policy coordination in Europe.
