Germany for one is already a federal country. Meaning that while a lot of things are done by the federal government but quite a few state-internal things are done by the states themselves, such as education for one.
I just want to bring this up because this community is about discussing European products/services and we don't want the discussion to turn into nationalism/euronationalism.

I like the idea, but really dislike the name. Makes it sound like it should follow in USA's footsteps which exactly what we don't want.

I think European Union still sounds better, it's a marriage.

I agree but I guess the name is supposed to be catchy

Ok, EU, we are fucking not calling it US(E).

I like the idea, but I don't think it's going to happen. People aren't ready to give up national sovereignty.

Depends on what form that takes, and how gradual.

This could be done for the EU as well

This post would fit better into !europe@feddit.org or !europeanfederalists@lemmy.world
