Yes, The European Model Remains Superior To

My Objective Is That Before The End Of The Millennium Europe Should Have A True Federation. The Commission Should Become A Political Executive Which Can Define Essential Common Interests... Responsible Before The European Parliament And Before The Nation-states Represented How You Will, By The European Council Or By A Second Chamber Of National Parliaments.

The Problem With A Purely Collective System Is Not Only That It Requires Economic Growth, And The Right Sort Of Demographic Trends, But That It Prevents People Thinking About Their Futures In A Responsible Way.

The Unions Still Have A Job To Do, Representing Their Members' Interests To Governments And Parliaments. And I Think Collective Agreements Still Have A Role, Alongside Markets And Laws.

These Days There Are Not Enough Of Such Intermediary Groups, Between The State And The Individual, With The Result That Political Leaders Are Often Unduly Guided By Opinion Polls.

Any Union That Can't Accept Workers Choosing Their Own Representatives Through Universal Franchise Is Finished.
