Re: You are joking?

And given that the UK was itself formed of an ever closer union of nations, which, recent governments aside, most would agree to have been reasonably successful, it beats me why the little ingerlanders would ever think that this is a bad thing.

The UK is now a quasi-federal state, everything is devolved to national parliaments except for those things which have been reserved (or delegated upwards, depending on how you want to look at it), well, except for the fact that ingerland can't be entrusted with its own parliament and has to make do with the shouty shysters in Westminster nannying (badly) for it instead.

The EU works in a similar way: every country is responsible for its own affairs apart from those areas where they have mutually agreed to work together at a European level. Shock, (no) horror!
