three different views on the purpose of the European project as a whole: confederal continuity, national separation and federal integration.
'Federal integration is the only possibility. At a critical moment in the EU’s history, the closest thing we have to a European president has shown that he understands the problems at hand and has correctly identified the solution. Any rationalist theory of government would tell us this is all that is required. So what is the problem?'
federalism in Europe remains the preserve of intellectuals and EU officials. The former are too easily disregarded as airy idealists, the latter as power-hungry mandarins.
There are doubtless many politicians and civil servants across Europe who now quietly acknowledge that there is only one solution to the EU’s problems. However, they fear the populist backlash of saying so publicly – and they may well be right to do so.

Funny the stuff you can dredge up if you search the fringes. You almost come across as intelligent at times too.
