But, the new federation will have a bureaucracy measured in millions of governmental employees. The easy living, great pay, greater benefits and bribes beyond belief for those English speakers must be tempting. Or, at least, tempting until the federation decides that there are simply too many official languages and trims English from the list.
WAY TOO FUNNEY. LOL.
It's very unlikely that will happen, however. With the recent expansion, English is even more dominant in EU institutions than it was before. Poles, Estonians, Slovaks, etc are not to keen to speak either French or German, especially given the unlikelihood of French or Germans speaking their language. Some parts of the EU Commission attempt to enforce French speaking, but I understand these regimes never succeed (the French blame America of course).
You are spot on, however, about the easy Eurocrat life. There was a recent expose about waste in the EU Parliament. This could help explain the recent gains of the Euroskeptics in the EU Parliament elections.
