When you mention 'homogenizing' - I think I understand what you mean. To me it has always felt like a forced idea. I mean if the laws ans culture of different parts of a continent were to mix ,they should naturally and the outcome of it should be natural progression of people mixing with each other. I think this way the result of that have the best possibility to survive. This whole EU thing feels like a big unnecessary experiment that is being forced.
I mean does Europe even needs it? The cross border cooperation in Europe has always been the best in the world.
