Not unless the west really works hard on "embedind" the idea. \nOn their own, they have  been killing off each other for centuries\nand there are still plenty on both sides to go around. \nThey must have a "quota" which once it is reached, they slow down some until more of them are available. Pathetic..just...pathetic

I agree with you. But polls show that 2 out of 3 English people want England and the UK in a politically united Europe a European Union. It may be worth your while to consider supporting a withdrawal from the worst aspects of the treaty of Rome and consider closer links with the English speaking world, a English Speaking Union

I sure hope so .... I'm tired of everything ... do we get to go in the EU or do we don;t ... :))\n\nBut is i have to be objective ... we don't deserve to go in the EU ... we can not be compared with  Germany or Italy or Spain .. even if we have a poor country everybody still steals from it .. CORRUPTION everywhere ! this is the truth !

Pretty cool back in 1998, pretty lame now.\n\nMy prediction is that no one will join them.

Well they all hung their hat on the EU and are moving away from NATO.  But, I suspect if we have any more "Muslim" issues in Europe (France,Britain) you will see a strong NATO arise once again.

Yes not only in cricket and hockey but in each and every field of sport the combined team will be victorious. Not only in sports, but in economy also India would have regained its past glory.\n\nSee the Germans.  they have united.\n\nCan the governments India/Pakisthan/Bangladesh/Nepal think over and take a merger decision in the interest of people of their country?  Every ordinary citizen of these countries welcome merger decisions.\n\nThere will not be Kashmir problem.  There will not be a political problem in these countries.  Ecomnomy wise also it will be a wise decision.\n\nCome on Politicians. Take merger decisions in the interest of the people and world peace.

it is slowly starting to happen.\n\nboarder laws and visa laws are relaxing\n\nEU is contently allowing more member countries soon most of Eastern Europe will have free movement, rights to work anywhere in Europe, access to health care.\n\nAlthough Wales, England and Scotland are different countries there are no boarders stopping the movement of people between them.\n\nI guess it is taking so long because counties whom consider them selves better (normally economically) then others are not always willing to share as it may decrease their average standard of living or economic strengths

You want to limit my answer to one particular point? Can I place a little comment as I have the vantage point to be raised and presently I live in Europe.\na. Do you think it is possible each European country to maintain an independent economy? Definitely, we are more than ever thrown in one "bunch" after the establishment of the EU ( European Union), so there are mostly demerits than merits as per economy.\nb. If that is true ( I must confess that you have point) and unofficially the Cold War is continuing,then it is one great failure and proof that Europeans are not tolerant at all and haven't learned the bitter lessons. Therefore, it cannot be a gaol.\nc. It is stated to be the major gaol, but I am not sure what will happen in the long run.\nd. European market should reply to rivalry and somehow to cope with its pending problems.\nWhat left..Emmm, either there are No major gaols or it could be accepted answer "C" as compromising.\nNice question!

I think it is to differentiate it from E.U. which is the European Union.

i think they are going to try and push it through next year with out referendums.  EU presidency changes next year too.  i think in light of events in the middle east, it is considered a pressing issue.

over a hundred year period, America will cease to be the global force that it is today, the chances of Australia taking its place are slim. \n\nThe contenders at the moment seem to be a United Europe, China and India.

No new one in the works.  They do need to revamp the current one, but no one has the guts to do it.
