Do you think belonging to the eu implies losing your national identity?

Question

Do you think belonging to the eu implies losing your national identity?

Answer 1

No, it's actually one of the best things I've seen happen. That kind of unity and distinction, it's made everything easier.

Answer 2

Yes i do but i have felt that for a while, and i also believe it is our government that is trying to suppress our identity as English, by giving the Scots a parliament and the Welsh an assembly but no English Parliament!

Also get an official Euro Atlas NO ENGLAND!!!!!! need i say more

Answer 3

The only thing that you loose joining the E.U. is the border of your country, which anyway is an imaginary line...

In the 21th century, Europe must survive the other great powers - The fast developing China, the old classic U.S.A., and a surprising India in the future...

We need something (an institution) to hold all of us in one piece...

P.S. Do you think that Italy, France, Spain or any other country lost some cultural individuality after joining E.U.? I don't think so...

Answer 4

Not lose over night, but certainly diminish, yes.

Answer 5

No. It means becoming stronger as a group.

Answer 6

no, it is sort of like an individual joining a club. you are still you, but you must adhere to the rules of the club so you can attain the benefits the club offers.

Answer 7

not if you love your country!I live abroad at the moment, but I still feel strong bonds with my home country and it's culture. People don't forget where thay came from, unless they want to, and if they want to, they will regardless eu.

Answer 8

without a doubt.

Answer 9

Labour have done all they can to eradicate any remaining English national identity to prepare us for becoming a European State. We originally joined the Common Market supposedly for trade and commercial reasons, not to hand power for decisions affecting us to the EU.

Answer 10

Well, considering  300 million citizens deprived of the right to vote on a text which hides its true nature, a constitution for Europe.  It is the people who should decide its own constitution.The beginning of the US constitution " We , the people of

America...;;"

17 pages for the US constitution more than 3000 pages of treaties where to

look for the different references of the articles of this Lisbon treaty of

more than 300 unreadable.

Laws enforced strictly over all of Europe such as individual carbon allowances, lower users can sell their surplus to higher user. Bang goes big families, less young

taxpayers to pay for pensioners, pension- less pensioners euthanized.

(more abortions also most likely consequence).Politically correct lobby groups call for charter of fundamental human rights for children- effect to give more rights to state than their parents- state i.e social worker more rights to your children than you. Do you want Super controlling Eu micro-managing your life.

Answer 11

Of course, how can it be otherwise.  Our old Anglo-Saxon common laws which grew over the centuries to suit the people have been superceded by basically French law.  Our borders have been eroded allowing mass immigration from countries who know nothing of our ways (ie non Commonwealth countries).  Virtually every aspect of British life is (even down to refuse collection) is controlled by unelected, corrupt foreigners.

The European budget has not been able to be signed off for many years because of so many 'irregularities'.  Anyone who bravely tries to bring this to the attention of the people of Europe loses their job (Neil Kinnock has been responsible for this).

Do you really want to be ruled by this bunch of crooks?

And you have not even elected them.

And you will not be allowed to get rid of them.

I cannot understand the mentality of people who support a federal Europe - even the French people don't want it.

Answer 12

Yes!.

Answer 13

Yes!!

Answer 14

No as the UK government has already made us loose our identity......
