The people that sell you your food, your oil and your money are far more powerful in your life than any politicians can be. Politicians only get one vote from you every few years, and only a small amount of your income as taxes.
A very small number of large entities get the rest, and it's almost impossible to stop powering them whilst still living in society and using money.
This treaty is their attempt to further homogenise their domains and allow for the easier, more secure and swifter flow of capital.
A european army ? So what ? No one european nation's army can effectively do squat against any other without the back-up of all the others, and the will to use them will be manipulated by said mega-corporations anyway.
It would appear that were this to go ahead local power will be devolved to people that speak different languages and live slightly further away, whilst the reality would be that that 'further away' would not seem as different, nor would it be.
Imagine a europe 100, 200 years in the future - is it more unified, or not ? The answer is that it is, so this can be done now, or left to the next generations to do.- as soon as there's a european army there will be a war for them to fight in. somewhere far away probably.oozie
