    The big problem with the UE is that it will propose a vote until the population vote “yes”.

    Regardless of how the EU reforms itself, naysayers will always complain: currently they complain about democratic deficiency, but if all power is given to the European Parliament they cry federalism.

    According to Aristotle (coming from the ppl who invented Democracy stated this is a corrupted system). Yes show us some American Empire cartoon videos, no wonder Americans are intellectually bankrupt.

    He is so right… You should listen carefully to his language, or listen to the whole speech. He’s actually saying that the EU is the best example of international cooperation… And his characterization of crankiness, in that one statement, is spot on.

    As an EU citizen, I can guarantee that we don’t turn cranky when we hear a question about the EU.We do get cranky when we hear about the US bc the latter epitomizes democratic defficiencies to such degree both at home and abroad, that EU seems to be a pure democratic angel. This guy is simply another American professor who has no core knowledge of the history of European values and simply became famous bc that’s what America is all about, becoming popular out of nothing – a baloon.

    the field by foot is far from the theories
    of the academics to whom books have been their major sorce.
    the european community has set itself to be in between the major powers. it will build it,s own
    defenses and military power when the time is right.
    the idea seems good but as i said in the field the
    real world of europe is not in favor of the peoples.

    democracy can not be under one rule.
    at present Americas confusion of the meaning
    is lost more so it should be demcorporation int.

    yes, there is a democratic deficit… the power to make some of our most important decisions, particularly on economic matters, is increasingly in the hands of elite, hierarchical institutions (national banks, the EU, mega-corporations)… the answer is economic, not so much political
