View submission: Final goal to become a federation
Europe in my eyes, already is a federation. Just a very loose one.
The goal of the EU was to ensure peace, stability and prosperity on the continent. I believe that it is a huge success in that regard. If you'd told someone 100 years ago that France and Germany would be best friends, in a single market, had no borders... they'd call you crazy. Yet here we are.
The current level of integration was unprecedented, even 50 years ago. And we're just heading towards more and more. The question should not be of whether or not we want more or less Europe. It should be one of what kind of Europe it should be.
I believe that within the next 100 years (barring something cataclysmic happening), the EU will infact be a single country de-facto. We have been set on an irreversible course towards a federation, and while it will probably take time, we will eventually get there. Or at the very least to something like Switzerland today
