I like the idea, but really dislike the name. Makes it sound like it should follow in USA's footsteps which exactly what we don't want.

I think European Union still sounds better, it's a marriage.

Sounds a bit stale. Maybe come up something different. How about

Howโ€™s that?

European Federation, how's that feddit?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Much better in this new imperial age.

I agree but I guess the name is supposed to be catchy

Hi how did you come across this petition, is it legit ? See my other remarks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, EU, we are fucking not calling it US(E).

I like the idea, but I don't think it's going to happen. People aren't ready to give up national sovereignty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Depends on what form that takes, and how gradual.

Germany for one is already a federal country. Meaning that while a lot of things are done by the federal government but quite a few state-internal things are done by the states themselves, such as education for one.

This could be done for the EU as well

This post would fit better into [email protected] or [email protected]

I just want to bring this up because this community is about discussing European products/services and we don't want the discussion to turn into nationalism/euronationalism.
