It's what's needed but likely will never happen. I fear we won't even be able to keep what we have.

I'm all for more cooperation in EU, but it's also essential that we have our own governments taking care of local problems.
Otherwise we will end up centralised, which means the thing that matter for 1 million people in a region won't ever get looked at.
I'm pro EU, but it's not a solution for every single problem.
Federations still have local governments tho, for example, Brazil, and the USA, both have states that are independent within the country itself
That's true. Maybe I'm wrong on this one then, as I've never lived in north or south America.
My argument is maybe, that I think the countries government should always be the last say, and not the EU. I think it's opposite in the USA, if I'm not mistaken?
I think we could have done that a few years ago, or in maybe 10 years. But currently many countries do not see the benefit of Europe and even want to exit. It would also take away the identity to a country like France. In my German bubble on the other hand, many people do not identify with Germany and rather with Europe. In my opinion, everyone would benefit greatly by equalising laws and finances across the EU. Even though it will be a huge challenge to keep prices fair. But I like the thought a lot, and could not find arguments against it. Of cause each country or region should still have potential power over their laws to a certain degree
