What Europe needs is a new Common Market based on:
free trade; freedom from political interference; freedom from interfering
bureaucrats; freedom from imperialistic adventurers; no one-size-fits-all solutions; an absence of overweening
international courts; no continent-wide governments - and definitely no Europe-wide currency.
Something based on the original EFTA model might
perhaps be desirable. There would be no undemocratic decisions; no tyranny; no petty interference in domestic affairs; no absurdities.
Cooperation between nations would be used to build
unity rather than the division fomented by the egregious European
Union.
There would be no costs incurred as membership fees
and no means by which political lunatics could impose leftist thought processes
onto tens of millions of independent peoples.
Friendship would be the watchword between nations and
the organisation would exist without diktats from the terminally self-important
manipulators.
Any government would be free to trade with LEDCs and
beyond without interference.
ALL nations would keep
their independence.
A sensible requirement would be membership of
NATO.
Sorry. I do recognise the impossibility of all that common sense which us dreamers had entertained back in 1975. All just a fleeting pipe dream, I suppose. Ah, well.
