no thanks. i’m all for a defence collaboration of geographically close locations (which is what the poll was actually about, rather than sovereignty), but the eu’s decisions vary so wildly and are so ideologically inconsistent that i would not want them in their current form to supercede our local laws. i like my government local, so i can tell them to fuck off in person.
Hey! That’s us!
Yes, yes, and yes.
One Europe, one set of laws, one defence force, one flag.
Eventually one language.
It’s going to take years as we literally have to wait for a generation to die off. I’ll never see it (am 68) but can dream.one language?
Laughs in Castellano, Catalán, Valenciano, Galecian, Aranese Occitan.
Seriously though, Dictator Franco tried to quash all the regional languages and only make Spanish the ‘one’ language… didn’t work and won’t ever work.
Didn’t say it would happen tomorrow.
Nothing wrong with regional dialects or even languages, like we have with Welsh in UK. But overall we need to have a common language.
Not sure what we’d settle on, the most spoken probably.
It’s also against the Ethos of Strength through Diversity.
Funny thing is, Europe is making more progress on one language than any of the other things they listed. Seriously cross the continent even just ten years ago vs. today - it’s remarkable how much more common English is as a second language everywhere.
