I think India is a far better place. Human values and other humans do matter.\n\nDivorce is rare, old people are taken care of by their offspring rather than be thrown in a home as is the case in the US or the west\n\nEmotional ties are stronger, the health care is improving, wealth is increasing, infrastructure is improving and the rich culture-over 10,000 years of history, multiplicity of languages, each music to your ears... I could go on and on...\n.\nInspite of a 10000 year history India is a world of mystery,a s opposed to the Us, it's like an old past who has only her past to show, and live off the younger stronger lot as long as they let.\n\nst

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

India produces some of the best engineers in the world and the competition is keen to be admitted to a university there to study engineering.

Every country to join the EU has benefitted immensely from it.  Ireland, Spain, Portugal improved their economy and their standard of living and caught up with the rest of the EU when they joined, and Poland, Czech, and the other new members should catch up soon.  I don't see any reason why Bulgaria and Romania won't do the same.  However if they don't join the EU then they could get left behind.

Its up in the air at the moment.  they have to meet certain requirement, prerequisites.. They do have things in their culture that Europe doesnt want in the union so there are talks and negotiations.  We should see something about it soon but not sure when.

We had no choice. In 1975 we voted to join the Common Market with Europe, not a common government, which is what has gradually happened. Our current government has allowed this, and has split the country up, without asking the electorate first, into 12 regions, per the EU's Regions of Europe plan.\n\nWe're too far integrated into the union to leave now though. Such a move could collapse the economy. We need the EU now, and they need us. We didn't do too badly before it. However, the majority are against it. Consequently, the British government won't hold a referendum on it, even though many times they've scheduled dates for a national vote on whether we should join the single currency, which have all been postponed, because they know they'd be defeated.\n\nRegularly, laws are being applied to the UK and other countries, from Brussels, the seat of the EU government. But a big issue currently is companies making crazy cost-cuts by outsourcing to other countries, which is affecting the economy, reducing it to a services-based economy, with very few manufacturing industries left.\n\nBut the EU has big problems; currently a corrupt, bottomless pit where money mysteriously disappears on a regular basis. As it stands, It's too big to be unified as a single European state, and is already straining under its own weight from the immense bureaucracy, red tape and a myriad of languages to translate its documents into.\n\nAs for the Pound, the fight is on to save the 1300-year-old currency. A few other countries of Europe are fighting to retain their national currencies too. So far, it's just a minority that supports joining the single currency. It seems very much as if the EU, with the help of its pro-Euro camp in Britain, is trying to weaken the Pound to a point where one day accept we'll have to accept the Euro, which may eventually be stronger. It's already begun; UK-based companies find it more expensive trading from here with other countries because of the extra fees incurred changing Pounds to Euros. As soon as the two currencies are harmonised, it's we'll likely join. If we'd joined earlier, maybe companies wouldn't have moved to Euro countries, production to China or call centres to India.\n\nBut if we don't decide on it soon, there might not be many companies of worth left in this country, as the most profitable ones will have moved somewhere cheaper.

There is no benefit for Turkey. Turkey will only lose in this deal. There is every benefit for EU. But the EU will fragment Turkey into multiple parts prior to taking it.

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 will improve the economy in India.\nI know that few years ago they had a lot of problems with the electricity.\nMany things will change. But also, if India will not be able to keep all these US clients that are jumping there then they will start to loose. And they will loose.\nMany UK companies are not satisfied with the indian accent and are searching for other places.

It all depends on the monarch, the previous one was allied to both India and Pakisthan so he couldnot support any of the nations but the current one has publicly embraced his support of India.\n\nIt's a matter of personal preference, friendship

Wow, an intelligent question on YA.\n\nIf this were to happen, a unified military for the EU would be an extremely potent force with a broad spectrum leadership.\n\nIt will be interesting to see how alliances would play out. If the EU military was unified, would England for example be allowed to ally with a non EU nation in a military campaign that the rest of the EU condemns?
