You need to understand four things about the EU:
1. It does not need to be strong, for just saying it is strong is it's real scoring argument. It's also more cost-efficient.
2. It accepts no potential opponents - it only knows potential partners each of whom has an individual appeasement threshhold to make him play ball.
3. Rivals get blinded from the glorious shine emanating from the EU anyway, and being blind then they can't fight it any longer, regret their hostility, look inside themselves and find themselves coming out of it as a better human being.
4. The club has around two dozen members too much in order to be capable to decide and to act. 29 single interest are 28 interests too much.
Let's laugh and chant and hold each others hand and hop and play a ring-a-ring-o'roses. And the ballons - don't forget to let the ballons fly.
