EU sounded great at the time it was proposed

like many things I'm sure EU sounded great at the time it was proposed, and was supported by a majority, and opposed by a minority. Now it's the other way around.

Just a thought. In U.S. history, the post 1776 government ['Articles of Confederation', which was too weak] was abandoned, and re-invented in 1787 (which we still have). Similarly, maybe it's time to re-think the EU? Unification wasn't a bad idea. How it was actually implemented, not so good. Typical of gummints.

/me thinks of Brexit as a mild example of what would happen in the USA if the UN were to become "a government" and start imposing it's will upon us.
