Might as well call it the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics, USSR.

I don't see any difference.

Hardly surprising - unfortunately many in the US are poorly educated.

Macron is of course, correct. And it's refreshing that both he and Merkel have kept the far right at bay.

Then you might try reading a history book to correct that.

It's the bureaucracy.

And the gravy train in Brussels with all the elitist piglets scoffing in the trough instead of acting like leaders.

And the immigrants.

Sort this ( and good luck) before anything else. Or we are doomed to join the stupidity - nay - of Trtmp and brexit.

Well done Macron on calling for the US of Europe, one of the main reasons why over half of Brits voted to get the country out of the EU and why there is a rise in Nationalism is a lot of countries within the EU.

He then wants "transparent, free" debates involving all citizens to be organized in all EU countries early next year, with the aim of combating euroskepticism by giving a voice to Europeans, instead of imposing decisions.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is....

People who wish only to speak disunity will not simply be silent so I wonder what merit such a process would have. Be open to ideas and make good decisions but ultimately lead from a positive vision will be more likely required if those too skeptical simply cannot.
