Sure, it's an old Polish tradition. I mean posting some pics created in Paint or so is easy, but going into the wilderness to meet the real beasts is a completely different challenge.

I though the classic old Polish Tradition was to be carved in two Between Russia and Germany?

Well, some Poles do blow then, but Germans are worse - they suck...

Naw, more workers and more resources for the whole union.

Not allowing free movement of labor.

Yeah, maybe we should be spanning the world, but first we need to make the EU into a federation if we want to avoid it becoming a new powerless and useless UN.

Turning the EU into a federation would, of course, drastically reduce the probability that neighbours will want to join.

Not that the apetite for federation among present members is notable. Maybe the French would swallow it - the Brits and Scandinavians would rather quit the EU altogether, and that attitude won't change anytime soon.

Even if the European Federation had better social laws?

I suppose the Swedes might stay if the European Federation adopted the Swedish system in toto.

True, Italian politicians, ex-royals and TV makers demanding sexual services from East European blondes are really a problem.


I won't say what I'd like to now, otherwise I'd get problems with moderators for the first time here.

In that case, isn't it rather silly that Sweden isn't in favour of a stronger EU with more social legislative powers? The more EU-wide social minima, the less unfair competition Sweden gets.

If you're a leftist country, you should be in favour of more EU, not less.

Swedes aren't particularly worried about "unfair" competition - witness the fact that unlike most of the EU 15, we didn't slap artificial restrictions on immigrant labor from the previous batch of new entrants. Swedes do fear meddling by Brussels.

I think you're overestimating Sweden's leftishness. Parts of our economico-political system would be perceived as insufferable liberalization in France or Germany.

I meant within the past 100 yrs or so, not all the way back in the pre-Napoleonic era.

Yeah, the hire and fire policy in scandinavia would certainly cause serious riots in those countries.
