European Integration

[Upper Canada Tory]

I am very opposed to supranational unions and would rather just have sovereign states that control their own laws, currency, and immigration policy. If I were a citizen of an EU country I definitely would want my country out of the EU. I think that putting a supranational entity in control of your country's fate is a form of voluntary imperialism and it's just a matter of time before it is used against your nation's interests.

With that said, different countries have had different outcomes as a result of EU membership and there are varying levels of support among the populations of different EU member states, so I said 'status quo'. For some countries it may in fact be beneficial in some ways, such as the Baltic states which wanted to become more distant from Russia and more integrated with the West. For the record, I think an EU superstate would also be a terrible idea, as you can probably infer from the first paragraph.
