I note that we can expect more debate on the future of the EU, following the publication of an outline for its development, the "Convention on the Future of Europe". Given that neither of our two main political parties seem over enthusiastic for further European integration, I expect we'll have little constructive to add to the debate.
This, in my opinion, is a shame. The world, like it or not, has one global superpower - the United States. Perhaps a strongly united Europe might, in my opinion, form a useful counterbalance. Unfortunately, since the acrimony preceding the Iraq invasion, I fear that in political terms most of Europe wouldn't listen to anything we have to say, much less agree with us even if we do try to be positive...
