Freedom!
Alliances emerge from the shared interests of the members. Every commonwealth starts with basic shared interests and the focus is of course on the foreign policy. Which union doesn´t have a common foreign policy? It is the European Union.
The European Vision is not about to interfere in national and regional affairs. It is not about to set up a government imitation that puts out 10 new laws nobody ever knows about per day. The European Vision or any vision is about highlighting the shared values and interests. This is why the EU does not represent the European vision. We do not get a Europe but we lose our nations. All the EU exists of is two parliaments and some paper. There is no people, no citizenship, no government, no government bodies and no shared, common interests but therefore there is an extraordinary accumulation of governmental power, the right to interfere without limitations granted to a bunch of grey eminences, the EU Commissioners, who stay away from the public and are not subjected to elections. Appointing and backing them is the EU parliament, whose members are also not subjected to elections.
Is this the European Vision? No. If the EU does not want to become the greatest joke of European history, major reforms are due. A framework must be proposed and members must confirm it. There shall be no intersection of competences. Competences must be defined accurately: No despotism! There shall be no workarounds for failed initiatives, for example the EU Constitution. There shall be no violations of the preset conditions, for example the ESM.
In general, a union cannot be rushed or enforced. It develops itself or not. If not, any artificial effort will inevitably fail.
