You think the EU ought to continue existing?

[Cronos]

In its general form no, but in the idea of a united Europe, YES

The EC kept Franco-German rivalry down to the economic side and avoided war amongst competing powers for nearly 60 years. That IS an achievement

The fact that Poland and Germany and also Romany and hungary can work together is a major achievement

The Euro seems like a mistake yet it also opened up internal trade heavily.

There are lots of places where the EU is wrong, but throwing out the baby with the bathwater is the wrong move

[Cronos]

If the EU is done correctly, as a federation with a far smaller bureaucracy, then Scots, Catalans, Flemish, Bretons etc. would have a chance at statehood within a wider framework that allows them to punch above their weight.
