In those far off days when UK joined the EU. free trade was the only declared requirement. Then bully boys were tasked with persuading UK of slow federalisation of some kind. I suppose if Cameron had not let the cat out of the bag, and reminded us all, we should have put up with quasi federalisation until the US of Europe were as established as the USA
What would be your objections to a US of Europe?
A single currency
I agree that the Euro was a mistake, but is it not a question of European integration coming in the wrong order? If the EU first had a democratic and sovereign parliament (similar to the US), and an elected government (rather than the commission), which ultimately controlled monetary and fiscal policy could a single currency not work (as it does in the US)?
Does the single currency work for the rust belt?
Clearly something’s not working for the rust belt, but are you suggesting that the solution is for it to have it’s own currency?
Surely what is required is large scale investment (green new deal?) in the rust belt (in US dollars), which I know won’t be forthcoming imminently, but could ultimately be a vote winner and happen.
Differing cipurrencies permit differential wage rates that price labour into work
