Quote:In a few years we can talk about the new european government....at the moment there are just some guys in Brussels who make a lot of money and nobody understands what they are actually doing

I will check my facts, but as I recall, some of those guys are appointed by their parent governments (can't recall the details) which is sorta like how the US used to choose Senators. The States would appoint Senators to the Upper House, and the Lower House would get in via election. That changed with the 17th Ammendment to our Constitution in 1913.

Buy you make an excellent point.

The way the United States came in to being is not at all how the European Union and the "United Europe" has come together. IIRC, the "United Europe" can trace its genesis to the BENELUX agreements just after WW II.
