Wow ! What a mistake that would be. Just an extension of multi national corporations with no local or national loyalties. More raping Greece for the profits of Germany because, it is a fair and level playing field. German are more Young people having grown up under the EU and the rise of the cost of living of the working Euro should be more interested in "nationalism". Internationalism has failed their futures. Unless they are German. My neighbors came back from central Italy 2 Summers ago and although they are well to do, they were shocked at prices. Less nationalism is not the answer for the working European. No E.U. No European Party. No just for good measure. Similar to the problem of the RepubloCratic Party lock on American politics and my appeals to vote for the Third Party of your choice in 2014, 2016 as an investment in 2020 - Europeans should look to their minor parties are refuse their votes to either of their nation's two major seemingly RepubloCratic Party. Minor party votes are more powerful in a parliamentary system if a coalition government is necessary. Moi View attachment 25116 Viva Louis Riel Freedom Fighter.
Agree that parties and governments should be representative of the people, and most people are not internationalists. Even those who think they are live in a specific culture. It's true that transport and communication have made contact among peoples easier, but this has not yet dissolved national cultures or made them irrelevant. People need cultural references for all they do - the customs and values that let them act with confidence. Since there really is no international culture - international politics and business, but not culture - such efforts often wind up being vehicles for the expansion of strong nations, as Moi suggests, or of those political and business elites for whom nations are an inconvenience. I believe that in the very long term - a century or more - an international culture may emerge, but we're still far from it. I wouldn't worry about that FB Page because such a party is unlikely to become popular.
I agree with bovov.Tea Party clones are springing up across Europe. Some parties are far to the left, and others on the right. They seem to have a populist ideology, and favor restricting immigration and loosening ties with the European Union. They might even create a third party in the UK.It is a sign people feel disenfranchised as they watch their native lands change into something different from what they grew up in. An international culture is being super imposed on the originals. For example, the British-Irish singers known as One Direction encouraged YouTube used to enhance their career. Love- sick girls across the world made videos asking their heroes to perform in their countries. Two Finnish girls made a nation-wide video and flash mob. In the comments, a Greek girl asked if her friends could borrow the dance steps for their video. A girl in Sioux City, Iowa wrote she had shown the video to the cheer coach and that she was considering using some of their steps. Would it be all right? One of the Finns wrote that she had ripped her chinos while doing a back flip, and girls from about six countries offered suggestions on how to repair the tear.
