Jefferson Davis, a man with extensive experience in a similar situation where the local governments held onto almost all the power said that if the Confederacy died, they should carve on the tombstone: "Died of a theory".

European Union is a misnomer.

It should be European Confederacy.

Where each member state has the right to veto.

Even the strength of the US Constitution was not enough to hold the Union together, the concept of states rights is still an issue to this day, even though there was war that was supposed to have settled that.

No actually you are wrong.

The treaty would have been shot down in most countries*. Eurocrats need to realise that people dont want further political integration. Europe is far too diverse with too many local stakeholders for something like the constitution or Lisbon treaty to work. Politics should be inherently local, not in some shady bureaucracy with bad accounting like the EU.

As an Irish person (I wasnt at home to vote), I would have been a naysayer too. Im more Interested in getting Irish politicians to do their bloody job for Irish people, rather then let them happily abdicate more power to Brussels. The European diplomatic corps particularly stank. Common EU foreign policy???? No thanks

* edit: If put to plebiscite

I personally think that Lisbon/The Eu constituation would be a document Napoleon himself would be proud of

I've always thought that the EU was formed just to rival the US in population and power. Something only the rich favor. I've talked to a few Euros, and most don't like most policies of the EU. Although, they like the free movement of labour part, only if they're the ones allowed to move around and not people from poorer regions going into their countries. Kind of a rich country's "greedy" version of free movement.
