  1. I've a good bit of l sympathy for Scottish people right now. My understanding is the last vote for Scottish independence only narrowly failed because they wanted to remain part of the EU, only for Brexit to happen based almost entirely on the voting swinging pro-Brexit in England, which is what they wanted independence from in the first place. Not as rough as the situation in Ireland (which seems to be a pattern) but it still seems like an unpleasant situation to say the least even by my admittedly limited understanding.

  2.  @Steven9567  the EU is flawed but "tyrannical"? Really?!? Got a pretty low bar for how you use that word, huh?

  3.  @Steven9567  what policy/policies of the EU are so tyrannical? What do you want so bad that the EU won't let you have? If it's so obvious, enlighten me by all means.

  4.  @animalia5554  it doesn't categorize neatly because it's a bit of a new experiment (kinda like the US was around its founding) but "a confederacy of countries with limited partial federalization" is a workable categorization for most purposes. As a side note: if it follows the historic norm (though that's not at all guaranteed), we would expect increasing federalization (resulting in decreasing power to member states) alongside increasingly democratic representation of the EU itself. If that happens, the current EU will likely go down in history as merely an extended transition between the Europe of the 20th century with its many countries and a future where most has united into a single country with a federal constitutional democratic republic as its forn of government. For further reading, I suggest the Articles of Confederation and the USA's transition from that (when the phrasing would be "the United States of America ARE. . .") to the federalized, single-country system under the Constitution we're familiar with today (where we now say "The United States of America IS. . ." dispite the plural in the name coming from the time when each of the states really was a sovereign state)
