That's a rather depressing surmise, isn't it?

I suspect that it is the combination of different languages and varying national issues that prevents European online discourse from reaching whatever critical mass is required to sustain a blogosphere.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

There is also the different internet penetration. I'm sure there is more than one issue at play, but really, how big do you think the EU(ropean) polity is, if the politicians and the media don't encourage it?

There is no need for US media and politicians to encourage the notion of "a single US polity", is there?

I should have said "actively discourage", not "not encourage".
