    The fact of you being oblivious that many EU state members populations feel that there are more differences than communalities with other member states, and that such a decision would require a large majority of the popular vote, in all the countries involved, to be achieved.

    Even for a nation to join the EU, referendums are done for that purpose alone, much less to transform the EU into a Federation, and specially considering the current political climate, and the rise of far-right sentiment all around the world.

    We are more likely to see WW3 start, than seeing a federated EU, and odds are, with a WW3, humans will no longer have the need for any federation of any sort. Maybe cockroaches will!

      Formalities. If the EU controls everything there is no need to turn it into a federation. Besides it will never happen because the mechanism to determine the commission is too good to be changed.

        Well, my parents always told me to not contradict crazy people, so I will respectfully leave this conversation. My thoughts and prayers to you!
