I am not worried with a generic EU becoming a superstate. I am worried with an EU with a European Commission and European Council which have become more less concerned with actual people and more with corporations interests lately. It is that EU that i don't want to see stronger.

If, however, that tendency is stopped and even reversed, than a stronger EU becomes acceptable. After all, a superior model of administration and production leads to the relative accumulation of resources and to the external perception of success, both leading to increased influence over rival organisations (other countries). History may be a sequence of thievery and abuse at large-organisation level, but there is progress, as thieves are generally replaced by better, smarter, ones.

Perhaps to create a more distinct form of organisation we may need to risk what we have now.
