It may not collapse anytime soon, and the power-base may prevent it from occurring, but the EU is a fucking joke. The common market place isn't a bad idea, but it is the super-state they are trying to build along with it that is the problem - and people aren't too happy with it.

I never thought I would be agreeing with you and Buzzy on something but you are absolutely correct about this. The EU is a undemocratic nightmare that is completely disconnected with the people in Europe. It could not win a popular vote in a single EU country at this point. The common market was a fine idea but the current form of EU super state is a catastrophe.
