    More centralized power just makes it harder for local and national changes

    Would that be a problem?

      I was wondering the same thing. What would that entail for the less influential countries within the EU?

      Here in Greece we could use some help. Our legal system is broken, the freedom of press is non-existent, police brutality is at an all time high, we don’t have a train network (in general bad transport infrastructure), to name a few issues.

      On the other hand, gentrification is as bad as it is right now, having to move out of the city I was born in and have loved all of my life because I cannot afford rent won’t be fun.

      Is it even true? USA has the same concept, and a lot of decisions are on a state level. China also has a lot of different local policies, even though in a totalitarian structure. Some cities have their own government, because they are so big. Germany has 16 states, which also do their own laws.

      I don’t think it would be like France, where everything is mandated from Paris.
