A idea that was once brilliant, which aimed to unite Europe and allow it to stand up to the rest of the world through economic and political cooperation. In pratice an huge ineffective machine where nobody can agree with anyone. Moreover most of the european population either doesn't care or doesn't like it.
But by the way the EU political system makes about 50% of the laws of the countries in the union. The whole european political structure is governed by the "european commission" which is not even elected: what a great lesson of european democracy. Lets look at our problems before we laugh at the US elections. Please!

The pre-Irak war conflit is a perfect example of Europe being unable to speak in a clear and united voice.

Get the European Pornmug. Initially a great idea to unite the whole of Europe into a pan-European Union, essentially a single country focusing on human rights, free trade, free movement of labour and a single currency, potentially one of the greatest political ideas of all time.
In reality the European Union is a Franco-German dictatorship in which the United Kingdom disagrees with/vetoes/opts out of 99% of the laws and the other member states have virtually no say in matters, even if they directly concern them.
The European Union is still a great concept though and if countries put aside their slight differences, focusing on their many similarities and also drop superficial arguments out loss of sovereignty then the EU will work and will be great.

People in the UK don't like the European Union, the common motto is "British is Best" and Britain should have control of 100% of all laws. Then again the British (and the individual countries before the union) have had control for over 1000 years and for the average man on the street life has been pretty shit, e.g. serfdom, disease, mass poverty, capital punishment etc. Yet since joining the EU living standards have improved dramatically and we are currently enjoying the best quality of life ever experienced on these wet and gloomy isles.

Get the eastern europeanmug. the greatest sport of all time, played with great intensity and played to win.
