I Need Help

[Gustaf]

Supersoulty,
In Sweden Junilistan, which isn't exactly nationalist but anti-EU captured 3rd place in the Swedish EUropean elections last June after less than 6 months of existence.

About the constitution the general picture in EUrope is nobody cares about it and of those who do I think most are sceptical. Generally, the population in Northern Europe (Scandinavia, the UK, Austria, nowadays also the Netherlands and Germany) are pretty unhappy with the EU. In Southern Europe people are more positive. But no average man cares much for the EU, it's by and large a project for, by and of politicians.

I wouldn't trust the EU's own polls a bit, especially sa teh head of it is facing corruption charges (and we know from their polling on the euro that they were way off in Sweden).

Chris, France is trying to use the EU, just like they do with most international organisations (as in fact do all great poewrs, including the US), for their own means. But apart from getting aid to the CAP they're not doing very well.

Thanks Angus, btw.

The EU is mostly used to get money. And yes, the lack of democracy is largely b/c people aren't trusted to vote "correctly".
