A federal EU republic would be best… but it needs significant reforms. It’s currently way too bureaucratic and complex. It would need some streamlining and simplification, clearer foundation of rights and democracy, and increased transparency.

    Given that the raison d'être of the EU increasingly seems to be divesting people of popular sovereignty and dictating policy to them from Brussels, I am not sympathetic to its continued existence.

That's why, while I voted for superstate, in my post I clarified it would need to include a big increase in democracy and transparency, and further guaranteeing individual rights in an enforceable way (does the EU have its own "Supreme Court" yet to strike down EU policies that may go against rights and autonomy?)
