Definitely not. None of the countries currently having candidate status belong into the EU. They are all economically weak countries which would end up getting more money out of the EU than they would pay into it. The finances of the EU are already strained, we can’t afford giving out even more money.
No. It’s a dysfunctional union, where everyone needs to play games because of local politics. But everyone wants to join, because it’s still better than being anywhere else. So the expansions are not only voluntarily, but people almost beg to get in. Central power is symbolic.

isn’t it?

Iit’s not empireish in any way.
yeah, everyone like the brits… and remember the various referendums that were held, iirc they were never near 70%.
reg. yr definition of empire: we’re not in that simple galaxy far far away
Textbook definition really. Where is your galaxy?
my textbook is Die Kritik der politischen Ökonomie.
I disagree. I think it’s good to keep all these countries close. Would be best with multi-tier EU system.
