In American politics, 'Europe' is usually a code word for 'big government.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Europe is a community of half a billion people, more than Russia and the United States combined.
The politics of Europe is unimaginative and bureaucratic.
Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.
Europe must be understood and controlled by its citizens.
Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength, and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.
Europe has shown how government can be organised in a network. Its institutions both compete and co-operate and include a directly elected parliament that does not appoint the executive, independent judiciaries and a complex set of relationships between the Commission, the Council of Ministers and the Parliament.
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.
Europe is a collection of free countries.
There are the countries of the north of Europe taking decisions and the countries of the south of Europe that are living under intervention. This division exists.
Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong: it is a geographical expression.
