A bigger EU

[Yelof]

There seems to be a few EU citizens on the cellar and I am sure others might have opinions.

What future for a 25 member europe ?

Personally while I am a commited europhile the actual institutions of the EU seem bloated and undemocratic, I lump the blame for this on the national Parliments who have underminded any attempt the create a Europe-wide democratic mandate (deciding for a President that is elected by other heads of state not directly, maintaining the eu parliment as an expensive powerless talking shop and thus sapping voter enthusiasm in it)

I would be in favour of any level of power-sharing in Europe as long as it clearly defined in easy language (like the us constitution) where what power rested with each level of government (regional-national-european)

While I applaund the coming together of Europe East and West I feel early enlargement before a political future was decided was a trick by europhobes to sabotage any hope of future agreement.

In the meantime and in future the eurocrat rules where the national politicians fear to establish a rival democratic mandate.
