The EU needs to be more like the US. You'll need a Federation, not a Confederation.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

But Az, you don't want a federation. You want evil totalitarian centralism. A federation would place much more power in the regions at the expense of the national states...Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

If you're in favour of regionalism, one doesn't need to create a huge overarching superstate to devolve power to the regions...Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!Comment

Sure one does. How else would you connect, say, the Basques in France to their compatriots in Spain? Or the large hungarian-speaking minority in Slovakia to the ones in Romania, Serbia, Hungary etc.? The EU ensures cross-border connections, finances projects, puts pressure on member states to devolve according to natural regional patterns (France decentralising without the EU? laughable!) and has the very idea of an interconnected Europe of the Regions imprinted on it in a way the national states never did in hundreds of years of history.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

How much autonomy do the (ordinary) departments in France have?
Not much. Their main purpose is to manage things such as junior highschools, small roads and infrastructure. There's an official called the "préfet" who represents the will of the central State, and who's responsible for anything involving the police or public safety.
That's because there are several layers of local administration: communes, departments, and regions, which each have a part in the local responsiblity. The most influent is the commune, which has much decision power and the ability to raise taxes, and the region is second.
The Corsican referendum, if accepted, will give control of the universities to the Corsican parliament, while it was the monopoly of the State before."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

I'm not particularly happy, seems a bit of a crap compromise on full autonomy to me. Will Corsican be taught in schools? I doubt it.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

According to partial results (the vote ended an hour ago), the "No" would win with a very small margin. But the definitive outcome should be known in an hour."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
